The Federation of Alezian Union is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.247 billion Alezians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 61.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Alezian Unionian economy, worth 172 trillion Alezian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,782 Alezian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, the mentally ill are given high powered automatic weapons for "catharsis therapy", the government encourages conflict abroad to increase arms sales, and the government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Alezian Union's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alezian Union is ranked 45,835^th in the world and 1,933^rd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 129.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
