The Republic of Alaravia is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 2.847 billion Alaravians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alaravian economy, worth 374 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 131,389 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, and the average video game can be completed over lunch break. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alaravia's national animal is the Swift, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alaravia is ranked 175,098^th in the world and 2,240^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 146 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
