The Rogue Nation of Alliestrum is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its national health service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 10.673 billion Alliestrumians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 19.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Alliestrumian economy, worth a remarkable 3,222 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 301,956 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, graffiti graces every city's streets, and former customs officers are adjusting to their new lives as market stall traders. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Alliestrum's national animal is the cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Alliestrum is ranked 16,920^th in the world and 1,255^th in Osiris for Most Patriotic, with 56.85 flags saluted per person per day.
