The frighteningly efficient Alteran economy, worth 351 trillion Alteran Credit Ͼs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 153,084 Alteran Credit Ͼs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, the government's new priority is citizens' access to cat videos, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alteran Republics's national animal is the Alteran Alpine Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Haeuva.

Alteran Republics is ranked 74,817^th in the world and 161^st in The Western Isles for Safest, scoring 81.78 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
