The Republic of Alice Coltrane is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its closed borders, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.801 billion Alice Coltraneans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 48.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Alice Coltranean economy, worth 269 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,304 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and a positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alice Coltrane's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alice Coltrane is ranked 52,813^th in the world and 1^st in Realm of Et for Most Developed, scoring 76.65 on the Human Development Index.
