The United Socialist States of Alarin is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 626 million Aleranians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Alarinian economy, worth 65.5 trillion Eagle dollars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,705 Eagle dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, and adults have never outgrown their fear of monsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alarin's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Alarin is ranked 25,036^th in the world and 514^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,120.08 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
