The United Kingdom of Alitonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Ali with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cheerful population of 23.856 billion Alitonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Social Policy, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ankh-Morpork. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The very strong Alitonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,738 trillion Bells a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 156,714 Bells, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alitonia's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.

Alitonia is ranked 855^th in the world and 12^th in Europeia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 25,702.9 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
