The Jack o Nation of Alski is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Ito Alski with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 8.88 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, socially-minded 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 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Alskian economy, worth a remarkable 1,498 trillion Baslas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,733 Baslas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stony-faced ratings board panelists are unamused by free lap dances, the average video game can be completed over lunch break, returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, and eminent domain has been abolished. 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 6,140^th in the world and 92^nd in 10000 Islands for Highest Poor Incomes, with 149,518.83 Standard Monetary Units.
