The Populgoverne of Alcantaria is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate population of 25.831 billion Alqantarianes are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cive du Alqantarie. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Alqantariana economy, worth a remarkable 3,313 trillion Qantares a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 128,268 Qantares, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, job descriptions are required to list the length of their siesta breaks, public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, and tourists call Alqantariana beach towns "the fine coastline". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alcantaria's national animal is the Ocele, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alcantaria is ranked 307,085^th in the world and 241^st in Forest for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -17.69 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
