The Federation of Alsion is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.93 billion Alsionians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Als. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Alsionian economy, worth 981 trillion Florins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 199,017 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bargain hunters descend on disaster zones for a quick spot of grocery shopping, this summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alsion's national animal is the Wulf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alsion is ranked 288,899^th in the world and 6,255^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -21.85 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
