The Liberal Democratic Kingdom of Alsatian Island is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Richard IV with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.742 billion Alsatians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monmouth. The average income tax rate is 84.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alsatian economy, worth 928 trillion köppås a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 161,685 köppås, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The national defense strategy is a little floppy, preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, Alsatian Island's Medieval Faire is renowned as one of the best in the region, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the Monmouth Alsatians' triumph against long odds. Crime is totally unknown. Alsatian Island's national animal is the alsatian, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alsatian Island is ranked 119,120^th in the world and 2,628^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 302 billion Standard Monetary Units.
