The Armed Republic of Altcfarm is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by General Taxpayer with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.713 billion humans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 58.1%.

The frighteningly efficient human economy, worth 198 trillion wheats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,683 wheats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and the government's policy is 'all pain, no grain'. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altcfarm's national animal is the kingfisher, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Altcfarm is ranked 13,554^th in the world and 1^st in The Mangrove for Most Corrupt Governments, with 129.48 kickbacks per hour.
