The Republic of The Condesce is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning grub population. The hard-working population of 2.952 billion Alternians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.9%.

The Condescean economy, worth 128 trillion boondollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 43,635 boondollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Condesce's national animal is the grub.

The Condesce is ranked 30,829^th in the world and 1^st in Alternia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 4,532.1 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
