The Grand Empire of Alpes a Septentrionali imperium is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Empereur-Roi Matthieu XV with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.055 billion Alpeians 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, 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 Frigidus Amnis. The average income tax rate is 68.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Alpeian economy, worth 145 trillion Imperial Sestertiuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 138,167 Imperial Sestertiuses, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Trade deals are born to the sound of a royal woman's anguished screams, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, and games of cops and robbers typically end in at least one fatal shooting. 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 Grey wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic Church.

Alpes a Septentrionali imperium is ranked 54,093^rd in the world and 316^th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 42,969.94 Standard Monetary Units.
