The Intergalactic Alliance of Betelgeuse Alliance is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Roger A with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.765 billion Betelgeusians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Betelgeuse City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Betelgeuse Alliancean economy, worth a remarkable 1,864 trillion Betels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 240,164 Betels, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 818,353 per year while the poor average 51,909, a ratio of 15.8 to 1.

Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Betelgeuse Alliancean officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Betelgeuse Alliance's national animal is the YEET, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Betelgeuse Alliance is ranked 61,670^th in the world and 13^th in Autropolis for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 2,559.48 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
