The Foreign Civilisation of AliEN A is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Alien Baba with a fair hand, and remarkable for its restrictive gun laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.08 billion Aliens hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seraphia. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Alienic economy, worth a remarkable 1,423 trillion Alienic Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 234,176 Alienic Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across AliEN A, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', and old cars must undergo mandatory sensitivity training. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AliEN A's national animal is the Martian, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Alienism.

AliEN A is ranked 6,248^th in the world and 73^rd in 10000 Islands for Highest Poor Incomes, with 151,587.19 Standard Monetary Units.
