The Admiralty of Alnorud is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Lord Admiral Stanislas with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 23.468 billion Alnorudians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Syltrevas. The average income tax rate is 72.1%.

The strong Alnorudian economy, worth a remarkable 1,815 trillion Alyrs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,356 Alyrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, citizens have never heard foreign radio, and the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alnorud's national animal is the Formosan Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Faith of the Seas.

Alnorud is ranked 248,641^st in the world and 27^th in Warzone Asia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
