The Devastating Pancake Blocks of Big Man Alan is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alan Faneca with a fair hand, and renowned for its fear of technology, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.586 billion Big Man Alanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York. The average income tax rate is 16.4%.

The Big Man Alanian economy, worth 418 trillion blocks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,072 blocks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, there's no such thing as bad publicity, solid-gold toilets are Big Man Alanian prisons' least expensive furnishings, and the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Big Man Alan's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is One for the Thumb.
