The People's Republic of The Alfalfa Alliance is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.878 billion Alfalfans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Alfalfan economy, worth 335 trillion dollarydoos 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 significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 86,553 dollarydoos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, hay has been added to school cafeteria menus, the nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, and drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Alfalfa Alliance's national animal is the kestrel, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Alfalfa Alliance is ranked 49,196^th in the world and 726^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.4 law-abiding acts per hour.
