The Republica Empire of Alski is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kiyoshi Sugiyana with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 5.526 billion Alskians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sapporo. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Alskian economy, worth 906 trillion Baslas a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,959 Baslas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Alski, parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, and mollycoddled youths run the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alski's national animal is the Alska dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kitsunism.

Alski is ranked 2,347^th in the world and 31^st in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 135.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
