The Empire of Alaninia is a massive, safe nation, notable for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.737 billion Alaninians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alaninia City. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alaninian economy, worth 130 trillion Als a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 75,066 Als, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, and protests are legal but strictly supervised. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alaninia's national animal is the Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alaninia is ranked 186,475^th in the world and 3,485^th in the South Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 38.8 billion Standard Monetary Units.
