The Irken Colony of Alienmarky is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Cthulhu with a fair hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, parental licensing program, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 20.549 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 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Alienmarkyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,984 trillion Squeedlyspooches a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of 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 96,559 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 18,615^th in the world and 26^th in Eurth for Largest Populations, with 20.5 billion capita.
