The Confederate Republics of Alingarch is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Primea with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 5.402 billion Alingarchis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ivery. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alingarchian economy, worth 610 trillion Kalroes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,046 Kalroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Alingarch's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, airplane passenger seat sizes and ticket prices are both first-class, epileptic patients switch their medications to whichever has a 'buy one get one free' offer, and battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alingarch's national animal is the Amethyst-Winged Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alingarch is ranked 48,888^th in the world and 49^th in The Hole To Hide In for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,823.97 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
