The Republic of Altys15 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 10.992 billion Altys15ians 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, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 24.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Altys15ian economy, worth 400 trillion currencies a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,378 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altys15's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Altys15 is ranked 223,771^st in the world and 230^th in Islarabia for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
