The Commonwealth of Alpine state is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Alfred with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.434 billion Alipinions 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 Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geneva. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Alpinion economy, worth 378 trillion Troy Ounces a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,121 Troy Ounces, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, private law firms are unheard of, representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, and pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alpine state's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aeithism.

Alpine state is ranked 36,631^st in the world and 37^th in The Union of Democratic States for Largest Governments, scoring 25.14 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
