The Most Serene Republic of Alkanuit is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 160 million Alkanuitians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 35.5%.

The strong Alkanuitian economy, worth 8.66 trillion Alkanuitian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,098 Alkanuitian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-Alkanuitian Dollar charge on their phone bill, corrupt industrial practices are spreading like a plague, cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, and the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alkanuit's national animal is the Cat.

Alkanuit is ranked 84,127^th in the world and 114^th in Astoria for Highest Food Quality, scoring 26.15 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
