The United Worker States of Alsyteon is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Premier Hua Daojung with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.469 billion Alsyenese 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 relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Renxin. The average income tax rate is 18.1%.

The very strong Alsyteonian economy, worth 113 trillion Alsovs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 76,779 Alsovs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Billions are being spent on a new island airport, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, and Premier Hua Daojung's relatives have been married into the royal families of foreign nations against their will. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alsyteon's national animal is the Griffin, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Alsyteon is ranked 288,291^st in the world and 48^th in Trica for Smartest Citizens, with 14.09 quips per hour.
