The Commonwealth of Alpine state is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Alfred with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.44 billion Alipinions have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geneva. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Alpinion economy, worth 255 trillion Lires of Fuel a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,617 Lires of Fuel, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season, students abandon classrooms for online education, a government program is underway to revitalize Alpine state's beaches, and stony-faced ratings board panelists are unamused by free lap dances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alpine state's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aeithism.

Alpine state is ranked 93,040^th in the world and 160^th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
