The Republic of Altys12 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 5.004 billion Altys12ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Altys12ian economy, worth 204 trillion currencies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,914 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altys12's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Altys12 is ranked 122,434^th in the world and 12^th in Islarabia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 7.12 kickbacks per hour.
