The Republic of Al Concerman is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by AL CONCERMAN with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.341 billion Al Concermanians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marilao City. The average income tax rate is 80.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Al Concermanian economy, worth 459 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 137,592 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, artists are pillars of society, adults have never outgrown their fear of monsters, and people say chess victor AL CONCERMAN can kill you with mind-bullets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Al Concerman's national animal is the joker, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is IGLESIA NI CRISTO.

Al Concerman is ranked 21,925^th in the world and 1^st in Bagong Pilipinas for Most Beautiful Environments, with 973.55 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
