The Third Zar-Kingdom of Alenstag is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Polzêk III szon Ínrád with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed population of 1.805 billion Alens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alengrad. The average income tax rate is 36.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Alen economy, worth 92.4 trillion Stals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 51,173 Stals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, and A-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alenstag's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Glorious Christianity and Catholicism.

Alenstag is ranked 213,387^th in the world and 55^th in Refugia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 32,341.95 Standard Monetary Units.
