The Federation of Alsion is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.997 billion Alsionians 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 Als. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Alsionian economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion Florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 200,845 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, the government confiscates candy from babies for 'the greater good' of the nation, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alsion's national animal is the Wulf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alsion is ranked 4,588th in the world and 211th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 61.06 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
