The Commonwealth of Alasnackbar is a very large, genial nation, notable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 262 million Alasnackbarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Alasnackbarian economy, worth 7.08 trillion Barsnacks a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,033 Barsnacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Alasnackbarian Babysitters Club has proven to be a huge relief to stressed-out parents across the nation, citizens select which government department gets their income tax Barsnacks each year, kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes, and Alasnackbarians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alasnackbar's national animal is the Bearded Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alasnackbar is ranked 279,003rd in the world and 259th in Forest for Most Developed, scoring 49.71 on the Human Development Index.
