The Mystical Banuk Nation of Aloyzia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Aloy Lightmoon with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.33 billion Aloys 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aloyzicia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Aloyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,656 trillion Metal Shards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 318,940 Metal Shards, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, and boys who take just one date to the high school prom are called 'losers'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aloyzia's national animal is the Moonwing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Pizza.

Aloyzia is ranked 1,590^th in the world and 23^rd in Green Hills for Lowest Crime Rates, with 153.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
