The National Workers' Republic of Alkilab is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by President Aleksandor Elesed with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 5.748 billion Kilabas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Souvl. The average income tax rate is 83.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Alkilabian economy, worth 728 trillion Tons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 126,703 Tons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, and soldiers are equipped with multi-million Ton battlesuits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alkilab's national animal is the Tunnel Rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Alkilab is ranked 8,127^th in the world and 4^th in Kerbin for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 449.92 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
