The Empire of Alothia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Mhaelrath with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.876 billion Alothians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The tiny, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Nexus. The average income tax rate is 4.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alothian economy, worth a remarkable 1,547 trillion Lancins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 263,408 Lancins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, and citizens must have a license to operate a computer. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Alothia's national animal is the Great Horned Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alothia is ranked 339,803rd in the world and 69th in The Galactics Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
