The Federation of Alterrum is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.397 billion Alterrans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Idryll. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alterran economy, worth a remarkable 5,183 trillion mercators a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 297,939 mercators, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blackacrean security services are wondering why Leader is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, milk often tastes of pea, making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work, and the government forces Alterrans to eat their vegetables. Crime is totally unknown. Alterrum's national animal is the orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Alterrum is ranked 8,063^rd in the world and 48^th in Forest for Most Secular, with 96.53 Atheism Rate.
