The Empire and Commonwealth of Alamein is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Consul with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 46.745 billion Alameinians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hitchin. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Alameinian economy, worth an astonishing 13,575 trillion lances a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 290,424 lances, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Alamein to be bombproof. Crime is totally unknown. Alamein's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is militant atheism.

Alamein is ranked 304^th in the world and 7^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 34,285.16 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
