The Gilded Lands of Alamei is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Eliana Marchesi with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.506 billion Alameians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lockwood. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Alameian economy, worth a remarkable 2,841 trillion Norrels a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 227,209 Norrels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, saying "don't do anything that Eliana Marchesi wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, skateparks can be found in every city, and Lockwood's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight. Crime is totally unknown. Alamei's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alamei is ranked 732^nd in the world and 24^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 9,248.27 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
