The Eco-Socialist Republic of Sylh Alanor is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Radhmael Silvehn with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.899 billion elves 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arlathan. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The all-consuming Alanori economy, worth 350 trillion planets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 120,909 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, every workday begins with group therapy, and the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds. Crime is totally unknown. Sylh Alanor's national animal is the halla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Zyqxuwy.

Sylh Alanor is ranked 175,338^th in the world and 49^th in Refugia for Most Authoritarian, with 361.87 milliStalins.
