The Kakistocratic Republic of Alcycone is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Some Guy with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.651 billion Alcyconeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alcyconean Battle Cat Base. The average income tax rate is 47.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alcyconean economy, worth a remarkable 1,105 trillion Guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 166,162 Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, repurposed warships fire swag at company promotional events, scientists take credit every time it rains in Osiris, and diplomats miss flights while wandering Alcyconean Battle Cat Base Airport's endless art maze. Crime is totally unknown. Alcycone's national animal is the Battle Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is A Religion.

Alcycone is ranked 36,053^rd in the world and 1,841^st in Osiris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,406.85 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
