The Commonwealth of Altianus is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 479 million Altianusians, 51 million of whom are zombies, hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inevectus. The average income tax rate is 50.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Altianusian economy, worth 48.4 trillion Corcans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 101,076 Corcans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A few people seem to spend their whole time complaining, there's no such thing as bad publicity, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, and customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altianus's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Altianus is ranked 167,733^rd in the world and 298^th in Saint Osmund for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,823.64 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
