The Community of Alvernau is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.464 billion Alvernauns 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 Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alvernau. The average income tax rate is 89.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Alvernauan economy, worth 744 trillion Alvs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 99,680 Alvs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, Leader's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, and one can wake up in Alvernau and have breakfast in Bigtopia. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alvernau's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alvernau is ranked 72,840^th in the world and 30^th in Deutschland for Largest Populations, with 7.46 billion capita.
