The Grand Duchy of Alfador is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 18.499 billion Alfadorians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Alfadorian economy, worth 551 trillion Enuws a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 29,809 Enuws, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Alfador, and the government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alfador's national animal is the Rhino, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alfador is ranked 95,808th in the world and 162nd in Wintreath for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
