The Gilded Lands of Alamei is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Eliana Marchesi with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.365 billion Alameians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lockwood. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Alameian economy, worth a remarkable 4,999 trillion Norrels a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 258,196 Norrels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, a passport is literally priceless, charity workers were first up against the wall when the time came, and kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history. Crime is totally unknown. Alamei's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alamei is ranked 11,792^nd in the world and 5^th in The Versutian Federation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 98.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
