The Democratic Republic of Alonde is a massive, safe nation, ruled by First Magistrate McCartnon with an even hand, and renowned for its digital currency, ban on automobiles, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.366 billion Alondeans 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, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newark. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Alondean economy, worth 69.7 trillion Alondean Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 51,016 Alondean Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and billions of Alondean Credits are being poured into a space program. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alonde's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alonde is ranked 46,534^th in the world and 1,463^rd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,626.89 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
