The Kingdom of Alakis is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 245 million Alakisians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 32.0%.

The very strong Alakisian economy, worth 19.5 trillion lumens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,492 lumens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury, the drive to dismantle public transport has crashed and burned, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Alakis as a reminder of their "special relationship", and citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Alakis's national animal is the snowy owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alakis is ranked 88,074^th in the world and 106^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Highest Average Incomes, with 79,492.32 Standard Monetary Units.
