The Slaughterhouse of Aloqua is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Most Supreme Glorious Strong One with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.729 billion Playthings are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Authoritaria. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Aloquan economy, worth 106 trillion Doll Hairs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 61,794 Doll Hairs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, male celebrity chefs are laughed at for their lack of manliness, a baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, and family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aloqua's national animal is the Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Outlawed.

Aloqua is ranked 92,699^th in the world and 4,479^th in Osiris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,008.4 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
