The 44 cantons of Alinghi Federal-Democratic Republic is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Zerenskyy Ben-Jarinn Magh'ra - TASDIF with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 23.844 billion Alingans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alinghi Bundeshauptstadt. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alingan economy, worth a remarkable 7,629 trillion Zars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 319,981 Zars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, Alinghi Federal-Democratic Republic's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, and legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills. Crime is totally unknown. Alinghi Federal-Democratic Republic's national animal is the Alingan Wolf and the Alingan Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alinghi Federal-Democratic Republic is ranked 939^th in the world and 1^st in ITALIA for Nicest Citizens, with 99.43 average smiles per day.
