The Democratic Republic of Alticors Pordes is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lenny with an even hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 3.671 billion Pordesians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Woodland Fox City. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Pordesian economy, worth 213 trillion altis 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. Average income is 58,081 altis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A vast monorail network carries people all over the country, public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women, politicians have seen a significant reduction in followers on their social media accounts, and radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alticors Pordes's national animal is the woodland fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Foxism.

Alticors Pordes is ranked 35,496^th in the world and 2^nd in Elemental Emp for Safest, scoring 107.01 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
