The Empire of Alpes a Septentrionali Imperium is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Louis-Matthieu II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, compulsory military service, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.026 billion Alpenards 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lyons. The average income tax rate is 73.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Alpenard economy, worth a remarkable 1,093 trillion Alpeian Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 155,637 Alpeian Crowns, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Lifeguards are stationed on the streets during rainstorms, people who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile, soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, and the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alpes a Septentrionali Imperium's national animal is the Imeprial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholic Church.
