The Republic of Altinostalgia is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning owl population. The hard-working population of 19.319 billion Altinostalgians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 21.8%.

The Altinostalgian economy, worth 829 trillion mikas a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 42,945 mikas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altinostalgia's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Altinostalgia is ranked 167,251^st in the world and 22^nd in Altino for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 32.52 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
