The Confederacy of Alpine Lands is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 883 million Alpine Landers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 30.5%.

The strong Alpine Lander economy, worth 49.9 trillion Kroner a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,532 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, money grows on trees, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alpine Lands's national animal is the Vucko of Sarajevo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alpine Lands is ranked 141,072^nd in the world and 844^th in Europe for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 105,307 Standard Monetary Units.
