The Colony of Alnilam is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 24.498 billion Alnilamians 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Alnilamian economy, worth 817 trillion Pearls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,377 Pearls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation rates have hit a new low, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, organ donation is compulsory, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alnilam's national animal is the White Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Alnilam is ranked 185,428th in the world and 2nd in Farkers Cove for Safest, scoring 53.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
