The Empire of Alfenheim is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Empress galadriel alvina with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.391 billion Alfenheimians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eragon. The average income tax rate is 61.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alfenheimian economy, worth 163 trillion Dragonians a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,373 Dragonians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, the sanitised and dull music festivals of Alfenheim are famed for their reasonable volume levels, photographers have to apply for a license to photograph Empress galadriel alvina, and stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alfenheim's national animal is the Golden Alfenheim eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is World tree faith.

Alfenheim is ranked 263,565^th in the world and 12,344^th in The North Pacific for Most Avoided, scoring 0.69 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
