The Principality of Alzatia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Princess Veroniek with an even hand, and notable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-working population of 8.977 billion Alzatians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strassburg. The average income tax rate is 8.3%.

The strong Alzatian economy, worth 565 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 62,961 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Alzatia has designated Strassburg as its capital city, Princess Veroniek has just been declared ruler of Alzatia in an international press conference, Catholicism has been named as Alzatia's national religion, and diagrams of new modems collect dust in patent offices. Crime is relatively low. Alzatia's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Alzatia is ranked 110,287^th in the world and 4^th in Terra Sacra for Nicest Citizens, with 13 average smiles per day.
