The Socialist tree people's of Alire is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kupa-Lenox with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.084 billion Alireans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harappa. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alirean economy, worth 494 trillion Golden coins 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 120,964 Golden coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, and youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alire's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Treeism.

Alire is ranked 172,596^th in the world and 3,786^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 203.28 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
