The Red Right Hand of MTF Alpha-1 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 12.326 billion MTF Alpha-1ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient MTF Alpha-1ian economy, worth 327 trillion rubles a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,600 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MTF Alpha-1's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

MTF Alpha-1 is ranked 23,949^th in the world and 55^th in eta for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,018.71 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
