The Confederation in absentia of Allinburg is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by ㏚ Martha Morrow & ㏘ Josh Morrison with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.015 billion Allineans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barston. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Allinean economy, worth a remarkable 3,433 trillion Allinean marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 311,667 Allinean marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, future leaders of Allinburg regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime is totally unknown. Allinburg's national animal is the purplehead eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Allinburg is ranked 103,003rd in the world and 29th in The Free Nations Region for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,274.18 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
