The Divine Orthodox Patriarchate of Most Serene Holy Dominion of Alfadorinas is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by His Holiness Tsar-Patriarch Nikolai III with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.5 billion Alfadorians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Alface-Dorrian. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Alfadorian economy, worth 274 trillion ichthys 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, 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 182,723 ichthys, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,270,705 per year while the poor average 9,151, a ratio of 138 to 1.
