The Interplanetary Cow Communes of New Alesland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Angry Cow with a fair hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, prohibition of alcohol, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.952 billion Rumans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Planet I. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient New Aleslandian economy, worth 300 trillion Gold Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 154,179 Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", Cows have more rights than the average citizen, and people across the world seek to be healthier by eliminating carbs.

New Alesland's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Staring.
