The Aliyye Caliphate of Yeni Alton is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Caliph Arian with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.21 billion Sons of the Moon 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitol Building of the Moon. The average income tax rate is 90.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Yenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,883 trillion Aliyyes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, 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 an amazing 303,267 Aliyyes, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign musicians that Caliph Arian dislikes are turned away at the border, Caliph Arian's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts, social care for the elderly consists of a self help leaflet and a kick on the backside, and women who display their ankles are shunned by society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yeni Alton's national animal is the Desert Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Church of the Moon.

Yeni Alton is ranked 13,151st in the world and 7th in 001 Alpha Prime for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,424.89 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
