The Republic of Alorca is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 606 million Alorcans 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 prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aeria. The average income tax rate is 55.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Alorcan economy, worth 58.9 trillion Rubis a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,223 Rubis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands, whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alorca's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Alorca is ranked 155,213^th in the world and 6,554^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 13.72 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
