The Ever-Expanding Dominion of Alzaran is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supremely Accursed King with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 6.829 billion Alzaranians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trodon. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alzaranian economy, worth 835 trillion Soamen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 122,416 Soamen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, and Supremely Accursed King's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alzaran's national animal is the Dormouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alzaran is ranked 10,181^st in the world and 452^nd in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
