The Republic of Alliaria is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.917 billion Alliarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Alliarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,457 trillion 9003s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 163,480 9003s, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, and what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Alliaria's national animal is the 9003, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Alliaria is ranked 278,178^th in the world and 1^st in accidents for Safest, scoring 5.95 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
