The Republic of Alichino is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Superstuff with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.191 billion Alichinoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Supermen. The average income tax rate is 56.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alichinoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,783 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,018 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, the government is under the thumb of countless special interests, and war criminals are given full state funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alichino's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Superism.

Alichino is ranked 6,427^th in the world and 202^nd in Home Sweet 9003 for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 8,750.47 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
