The United States of Alaskas is a fledgling, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6 million Alaskasians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The thriving Alaskasian economy, worth 439 billion Wongs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 73,187 Wongs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 259,060 per year while the poor average 14,928, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Alaskas's national animal is the kommodo dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Alaskas is ranked 272,046^th in the world and 907^th in The Frontier Sea for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 38.06 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
