The Regnum Christi Supremum of Alphanix is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Apostolic Custodian Nix VIII with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.119 billion Nixians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mater Mariae Portus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Alphanixian economy, worth a remarkable 1,143 trillion Holy Dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 140,826 Holy Dinars, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Film studios own the rights to actors' likenesses until the next millennium, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Alphanix, the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, and all music has been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alphanix's national animal is the Lamb of God, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Alphanix is ranked 263,712^th in the world and 623^rd in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -6.69 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
