The Grand Duchy of Alleng is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 16 million Alleng 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.2%.

The very strong Alleng economy, worth 934 billion Marks of the Grand Duchy of Alleng a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 58,428 Marks of the Grand Duchy of Alleng, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, government officials across Alleng are being "encouraged" to adopt Wisents to set an example for the populace, a traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum, and unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims. Crime is almost non-existent. Alleng's national animal is the Wisent, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Alleng is ranked 316,315^th in the world and 16^th in Unbound for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -5.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
