The Commonwealth of Alicadia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord Arbiter Alicade with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.175 billion Alicadians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Brixton. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alicadian economy, worth 675 trillion Rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 161,746 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Alicadia's national animal is the Dodo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alicadia is ranked 7,137^th in the world and 19^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Secular, with 97.23 Atheism Rate.
