The Federation of Alterrum is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.281 billion Alterrans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Idryll. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alterran economy, worth a remarkable 5,127 trillion mercators a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 296,695 mercators, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Men are enrolling into lady etiquette courses, aristocracy is given the bird and called out as a lark, suburban residents are told not to panic while hitchhikers swarm their neighborhoods, and oilmen are in the business of greasing people's palms. Crime is totally unknown. Alterrum's national animal is the orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Alterrum is ranked 332,201^st in the world and 1,410^th in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -39.99 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
