The Commonwealth of Foresittend Marcus Alan Ariel Reynolds is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Marcus Alan Ariel Baptiste Reynolds with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.077 billion Alans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Science City. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Alan economy, worth 724 trillion Singapore Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 65,364 Singapore Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, 'Abstinence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder' is a common school motto, and all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foresittend Marcus Alan Ariel Reynolds's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Grand Lovecraftian Horror of Worms.

Foresittend Marcus Alan Ariel Reynolds is ranked 39,278^th in the world and 7^th in Valentine Day for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78 law-abiding acts per hour.
