The Rogue Nation of Alliestrum is a titanic, cultured nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 14.012 billion Alliestrumians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 37.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alliestrumian economy, worth a remarkable 5,636 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 402,243 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

New urban roads are threatening city parks, skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy, if foreigners can hit a spittoon from five paces they get a free holiday to Alliestrum, and street gangs rule most of the nation's major cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Alliestrum's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Alliestrum is ranked 6,360^th in the world and 318^th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 138 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
