The One World Government of Alpha2 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Secret Chiefs with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, prohibition of alcohol, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 43.866 billion Alphatians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Stunövall Sprawl. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Alpha2ian economy, worth an astonishing 24,752 trillion Guineas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 564,265 Guineas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,103,190 per year while the poor average 24,329, a ratio of 168 to 1.

Getting caught with the wrong recipe book can get you locked up for 100 - 500 megaseconds, the new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards, the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, and a rogue brutalist can cement their town in the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Alpha2's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is egotheism.

Alpha2 is ranked 332,067th in the world and 38th in Scandinavia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 0.41 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
