The Parliamentary monarchy of Alvosa is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 592 million Alvosans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cadalla. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.3%.

The very strong Alvosan economy, worth 46.0 trillion Alvosan Sallers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Gambling. Average income is 77,665 Alvosan Sallers, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Aspiring musicians couldn't give away their music if they tried, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, there are no more heroes any more, and minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alvosa's national animal is the Duck with 8 legs and laser eyes, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alvosa is ranked 174,705th in the world and 87th in Aspen for Most Secular, with 16.93 Atheism Rate.
