The Republic of Alisios is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, otherworldly petting zoo, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic population of 152 million Alisians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 12.3%.

The strong Alisiosian economy, worth 10.2 trillion Euros 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. 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 67,244 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", the song 'They Got an Awful Lot of Coffee in Alisios' is a smash hit, and the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market. Crime is almost non-existent. Alisios's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alisios is ranked 80,320^th in the world and 804^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 595.08 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
