The Republic of Alterhuman Origin is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.577 billion Alterhuman Originians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.0%.

The strong Alterhuman Originian economy, worth 115 trillion yeses 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Retail. 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 72,982 yeses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 341,736 per year while the poor average 9,304, a ratio of 36.7 to 1.

People with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, you're only as old as you feel, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alterhuman Origin's national animal is the arf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alterhuman Origin is ranked 72,858^th in the world and 19^th in Pluralpedia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 14,978.66 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
