The Confederacy of Allertania is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Ruri Hoshino with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.143 billion Allertanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Allertanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,473 trillion dollars 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 180,961 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Allertanian government is the world's largest NGO, child support loans with high interest rates are available in Allertanian banks, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Allertania's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Allertania is ranked 303,202^nd in the world and 28^th in Callista for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.05 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
