The Republic of Alcrestia Liakar is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kalis de Accora with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9.116 billion Alcrestians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sol de Liakar. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alcrestian economy, worth a remarkable 1,668 trillion akories a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,040 akories, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Alcrestian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alcrestia Liakar's national animal is the sun wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alcrestia Liakar is ranked 16,496^th in the world and 374^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 23,693.89 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
