The Grimms Hollow of Isle Alexandra is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hikari with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.35 billion Isle Alexandrans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aithne. The average income tax rate is 88.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Isle Alexandran economy, worth a remarkable 1,718 trillion gold coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 119,761 gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, an IT mega-corporation has a patent pending on the rectangle, the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, and artists attempt to convince the Hardship Fund that their unmade bed is a masterpiece. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isle Alexandra's national animal is the siren, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Castianity.

Isle Alexandra is ranked 21,416th in the world and 151st in Europeia for Most Cultured, scoring 89 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
