The Loading Screen Animation of Alpha City is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Agent Alpha with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and enforced nudity. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.356 billion Alphaites love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alpha City. The average income tax rate is 59.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Alpha Cityian economy, worth 156 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,479 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, the freedom to be free is always just out of reach, and teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alpha City's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alpha City is ranked 109,537th in the world and 7th in Chessboard for Highest Average Incomes, with 66,479.8 Standard Monetary Units.
