The Semi-Constitutional Monarchy of Alinek is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Czechoslovakia with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.752 billion Alinekians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cuscanate. The average income tax rate is 17.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Alineki economy, worth a remarkable 1,926 trillion Alas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 197,533 Alas, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Alinek's pristine beaches, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, feeling like a winner comes at a price, and the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Alinek's national animal is the robin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is one of them.

Alinek is ranked 67,890^th in the world and 28^th in Kerbals of the North for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
