The Fallen Ecumenopolis of Altaira Prime is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Aurum Toldani with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.142 billion Prymordiyans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Prymordiyan economy, worth a remarkable 1,597 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 143,390 Imperial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bris parties are all the rage, most barbers are also surgeons, tourists are forbidden to enter Native Prymordiyan lands, and rare art has become a significant factor in negotiating all foreign trade agreements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altaira Prime's national animal is the Pheonix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Altaira Prime is ranked 4,232^nd in the world and 240^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 120.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
