The Leviathan of Alorgaze is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Earenzel with an iron fist, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, disturbing lack of elderly people, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.731 billion Gazians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The minute, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alorgan. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Gazian economy, worth a remarkable 5,219 trillion Agands a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 380,145 Agands, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, diplomatic cables about Earenzel have suddenly been very flattering, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Alorgaze's national animal is the Gazian Polar Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Alorgaze is ranked 332,067th in the world and 19th in The Axis of Evil for Highest Average Tax Rates, with -1.91 Effective Tax Rate.
