The Flag of The Alert is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 15.208 billion black hawks are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped raider economy, worth 503 trillion regions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 33,115 regions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, Harry Potter books are banned, and pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Alert's national animal is the black hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Alert is ranked 70,183^rd in the world and 21^st in The catholic military orders for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,471.3 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
