The Empire Republic of Alski is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ito Alski with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 7.856 billion Alskians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sapporo. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Alskian economy, worth a remarkable 1,318 trillion Baslas a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,878 Baslas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alski's national animal is the Alska dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kitsunism.

Alski is ranked 2,219^th in the world and 30^th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 140.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
