The Federation of Allevania is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its smutty television, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 278 million Allevanians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Allevanian economy, worth 20.9 trillion Arlemarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,175 Arlemarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Copyright laws have been abolished, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, and all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Allevania's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Allevania is ranked 174,019^th in the world and 6,993^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -1.71 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
