The Sultanate of Algivore City is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.592 billion Algivore Cityians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The very strong Algivore Cityian economy, worth 498 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 57,998 Pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 210,303 per year while the poor average 11,397, a ratio of 18.5 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', and Algivore City City's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Algivore City's national animal is the Common Dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Algivore City is ranked 257,064^th in the world and 2^nd in The New Inquisition for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
