The Republic of Alphus Imperium is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Richard Fulton with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.902 billion Alphists have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perinithius. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Alphist economy, worth 412 trillion Imperians a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,695 Imperians, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

Alphist companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios, and the new one Imperian coin also makes a handy throwing-star. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alphus Imperium's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alphus Imperium is ranked 51,087^th in the world and 37^th in Mitteleuropa for Largest Governments, scoring 22.23 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
