The Leviathan of Alorgaze is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Earenzel with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.636 billion Gazians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The minute, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alorgan. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Gazian economy, worth a remarkable 5,212 trillion Agands a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 382,273 Agands, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

State officials tend to disappear after they forget to salute Earenzel's portrait, military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, new urban roads are threatening city parks, and the Gazian Tourism Bureau has described the abolition of coastal defences as a "kick to the groyne". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Alorgaze's national animal is the Gazian Polar Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Alorgaze is ranked 311,330th in the world and 17th in The Axis of Evil for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -35.92 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
