The Federal Republic of Aalander is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Director Isebrand Calloven with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and national health service. The compassionate population of 1.257 billion Aalandites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Algernon. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Aalandite economy, worth 62.2 trillion Marques a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,512 Marques, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and major internet servers have acquired citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aalander's national animal is the Brown bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.
