The Fēdaracija of Alypha is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Aleksa Kraiskins with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.264 billion Alyphans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vulkānspils. The average income tax rate is 89.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alyphan economy, worth 441 trillion Pearls a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 135,143 Pearls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, and Brancalandian Brie isn't available anywhere in Alypha. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alypha's national animal is the Slugcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Radiance.

Alypha is ranked 17,985^th in the world and 21^st in Federation Of Sovereign States for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 326.77 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
