The Kingdom of Alakis is a very large, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 268 million Alakisians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalis. The average income tax rate is 33.4%.

The thriving Alakisian economy, worth 22.5 trillion lumens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,779 lumens, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is proudly free of crabs, chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales, politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', and the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Alakis's national animal is the snowy owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alakis is ranked 24,732^nd in the world and 36^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,887.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
