The Kingdom of Alkheim is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by Charles I with an even hand, and renowned for its burgeoning icebear population. The quiet, industrious population of 25.742 billion Alkians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alkstadt. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Alkheimian economy, worth 531 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,656 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, Alkheim has designated Alkstadt as its capital city, Catholic has been named as Alkheim's national religion, and Charles I has just been declared ruler of Alkheim in an international press conference. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alkheim's national animal is the icebear and its national religion is Catholic.

Alkheim is ranked 263,795^th in the world and 2^nd in The Adorable for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 802.21 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
