The Kingdom of AltonaPeyton is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy and absence of drug laws. The quiet, industrious population of 4.703 billion AltonaPeytonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped AltonaPeytonian economy, worth 153 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 32,615 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The AltonaPeyton Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, surveillance cameras are banned, and excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AltonaPeyton's national animal is the Bear.
AltonaPeyton is ranked 152,190th in the world and 37th in Independent Order for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
