The Democratic Republic of Alonde is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by First Magistrate McCartnon with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.334 billion Alondeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newark. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Alondean economy, worth 64.4 trillion Alondean Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 48,261 Alondean Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", high school bands practice by moonlight, Alonde has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, and innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alonde's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alonde is ranked 30,586^th in the world and 1,133^rd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 80 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
