The Knootian Protectorate of Ale-Yarok is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Governor-General JGM van Coehoorn with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 39.756 billion Ale-Yarokians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry, Social Policy, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ale-Yarok City. The average income tax rate is 19.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Ale-Yarokian economy, worth a remarkable 6,653 trillion Atlantic Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 167,363 Atlantic Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Players panic as they discover the newest chain can reset their populations and even delete their nations (Ale-Yarok has found 2 easter eggs), Ale-Yarokian athletes are close to breaking the 2 minute mile and the 16 meter long jump, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste. Crime is totally unknown. Ale-Yarok's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is secular Judaism.
Ale-Yarok is ranked 144,528th in the world and 22nd in Western Atlantic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
