The Matriarchy of Alisda is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 697 million Alisdans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heart. The average income tax rate is 31.3%.

The strong Alisdan economy, worth 45.3 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 65,043 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Commercial pop radio occasionally features raccoon birthing sounds, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, the opposition leader's credibility has been undermined by constant attention drawn to a dodgy toupee, and drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alisda's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alisda is ranked 269,267^th in the world and 108^th in Aesica for Largest Black Market, with 102 billion Standard Monetary Units.
