The Production State of Aleister is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Imhoff with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, unlimited-speed roads, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 14.285 billion Aleistari enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, corrupt, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pont Aven. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.2%.

The all-consuming Aleistari economy, worth a remarkable 1,500 trillion Yans a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 105,051 Yans, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 559,552 per year while the poor average 10,383, a ratio of 53.9 to 1.

The Pont Aven Film Festival recently voted 'Aleistari Getting Hit By Football' as best film, the military struggles with recruitment, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, and East Lebatuckese luxury goods are plundered by the working class of Aleister. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Aleister's national animal is the Hoatzin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Reverence.

Aleister is ranked 50,508th in the world and 1st in Sinope for Rudest Citizens, with 82.95 insults per minute.
