The Republic of Alpha Go is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.164 billion Alpha Goans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 9.0%.

The strong Alpha Goan economy, worth 123 trillion round stoneses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is 39,032 round stoneses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

School children across the country are staging hunger strikes to protest government-mandated salads, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, and clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Alpha Go's national animal is the go player.

Alpha Go is ranked 250,183^rd in the world and 1^st in the gateway hall for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 147.18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
