The Federal Republic of Aland and Heligoland is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 135 million Alandigolandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 37.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aland and Heligolandian economy, worth 7.12 trillion Alandigolandian Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,761 Alandigolandian Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The army employs a "shoot first, shoot later" policy, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aland and Heligoland's national animal is the Great Auk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Aland and Heligoland is ranked 126,263^rd in the world and 6^th in The Alliance of Eros for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
