The Rogue Nation of Alliestrum is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 10.403 billion Alliestrumians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 17.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Alliestrumian economy, worth a remarkable 3,071 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 295,223 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Alliestrum City's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, the nation is now proudly cholera-free, it is often said that only Leader could bring down Dàguó, and government adverts say that twelve lashes a day keeps divine wrath at bay. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Alliestrum's national animal is the cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Alliestrum is ranked 23,291^st in the world and 1,510^th in Osiris for Most Patriotic, with 48.68 flags saluted per person per day.
