The Empire Republic of Alski is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Sinēsanabme Alski with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 12.705 billion Alskians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sapporo. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Alskian economy, worth a remarkable 2,152 trillion baslas a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 169,421 baslas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blood isn't quite as thick as it used to be, calls to prayer are the newest dog whistles, wandering Alskians are known for their one-track minds, and the gravy train is chugging along on a new track. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alski's national animal is the Alska dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kitsunism.

Alski is ranked 305,053^rd in the world and 387^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -23.45 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
