The Tropical Island Paradise of Great Algerstonia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tourist CEO with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 4.188 billion Algerstonese are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Havana. The average income tax rate is 69.1%.

The thriving Algerstonian economy, worth 314 trillion banknotes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 74,981 banknotes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tourist CEO can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, traffic news is delivered to drivers via carrier pigeon, warning signs caution Algerstonese where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', and home education can sometimes be a load of bullocks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Algerstonia's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Khmetism.

Great Algerstonia is ranked 583^rd in the world and 23^rd in The East Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 906.7 Bank.
