The Matriarchy of Alnas is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Court of Quenioa with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.197 billion Alnasians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quenioa Port. The average income tax rate is 50.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Alnasian economy, worth 142 trillion Eyas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 118,721 Eyas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Old folks yearn for the days when young people saw bloodthirsty death matches with their own eyes instead of through a screen, strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, politicians are often referred to as thesauruses behind their backs, and The Court of Quenioa goes out to lunch surrounded by large men in dark glasses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alnas's national animal is the Sandpiper, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gainism.

Alnas is ranked 31,597^th in the world and 61^st in Anteria for Highest Food Quality, scoring 60.96 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
