The Free Land of Alouarn is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 50 million Alouarnians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 45.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Alouarnian economy, worth 2.08 trillion Pips a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,596 Pips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, work stinks, Alouarn City's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, and councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alouarn's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alouarn is ranked 252,652^nd in the world and 567^th in Horizon for Highest Average Incomes, with 41,596.88 Standard Monetary Units.
