The District of Al Stewart is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.714 billion Wardas are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.
The strong Al Stewartian economy, worth 432 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 64,444 aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 189,717 per year while the poor average 17,233, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.
Nude art is becoming wildly popular, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, Al Stewart has designated District City as its capital city, and Liard has just been declared ruler of Al Stewart in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Al Stewart's national animal is the bovina.
Al Stewart is ranked 39,872nd in the world and 1st in The Wonderful Bird Region for Most Stationary, with 1,135.99786323868 days.
