The Community of Alanbia is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 348 million Alanbians 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, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Alanbian economy, worth 12.5 trillion credits 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is 35,998 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Snap elections are called over every minor impasse, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Alanbians any less frightened, being Leader has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, and radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alanbia's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alanbia is ranked 329,955^th in the world and 195^th in Eladria for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
