The Kingdom of Fort Alkatraz is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.728 billion Fort Alkatrazians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.0%.

The thriving Fort Alkatrazian economy, worth 643 trillion Golden nuggets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 73,704 Golden nuggets, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 266,711 per year while the poor average 14,530, a ratio of 18.4 to 1.

Gun ownership is compulsory, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, and lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fort Alkatraz's national animal is the Jellyfish, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Fort Alkatraz is ranked 41,881^st in the world and 1^st in Pallidrose Bay for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,173.69 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
