The Empire of Alterld Sha is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Khrusos VII with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.519 billion Alterld Shans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alterld Sha City. The average income tax rate is 31.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Alterld Shan economy, worth 879 trillion silver weights a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 134,841 silver weights, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Visitors to Self-Sufficiency National Park who ask for trail maps are handed a pen and a blank sheet of paper, emigrants arrive on foreign shores with nothing but pocket sand, state-manufactured hammers and sickles are here to stay, and hammer and sickle-wielding space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on. Crime is moderate. Alterld Sha's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Druidism.
Alterld Sha is ranked 285,756th in the world and 9,986th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 4.3397194448 days.
