The Queendom of Alenathiea is a small, safe nation, renowned for its national health service, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 29 million Alenathieans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 9.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Alenathiean economy, worth 1.54 trillion empyras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,202 empyras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

New government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, and historic buildings are being demolished to allow for road-widening in the city centre. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Alenathiea's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alenathiea is ranked 90,655^th in the world and 2,078^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,669.35 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
