The Ever-Expanding Dominion of Alzaran is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Supremely Accursed King with an even hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 6.966 billion Alzaranians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trodon. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alzaranian economy, worth 827 trillion Soamen 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 118,769 Soamen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, Supremely Accursed King's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alzaran's national animal is the Dormouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alzaran is ranked 265,128^th in the world and 5,860^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 40.94 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
