The Long and Winding Pavement of Allison Road is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 34.495 billion Roadies are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Allison economy, worth a remarkable 3,740 trillion Gin Blossoms a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 108,444 Gin Blossoms, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 355,634 per year while the poor average 24,818, a ratio of 14.3 to 1.

Urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffer-driven limousines, citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys, it is widely believed that the first citizen of Allison Road was called 'Wild-eyed Daddy-O', and only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Allison Road's national animal is the Kitten, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Allison Road is ranked 139,793^rd in the world and 12^th in The Respected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,964.58 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
