The Irken Colony of Alienmarky is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Cthulhu with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 20.245 billion Alienmarkyians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brizzle. The average income tax rate is 84.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Alienmarkyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,960 trillion Squeedlyspooches a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,824 Squeedlyspooches, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, it's best not to ask what goes into Brizzle Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, and dictators have dubbed Alienmarky the land of lunatics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alienmarky's national animal is the GIR, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Alienmarky is ranked 6,169^th in the world and 10^th in Eurth for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,198.04 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
