The Commonwealth of Alpine state is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Alfred with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.374 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 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Alpinion economy, worth 254 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 107,217 Lires of Fuel, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

People find it hard to relate to soldiers because of the dehumanising masks they wear, teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season, students abandon classrooms for online education, and a government program is underway to revitalize Alpine state's beaches. 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 161,078^th in the world and 147^th in The Union of Democratic States for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 262.93 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
