The Republic of Alyraa is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.056 billion Alyraans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Alyraan economy, worth 331 trillion floras a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,765 floras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, national parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', and ancient antique swords have had their blades replaced with latex boffer LARP replicas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alyraa's national animal is the fauna, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alyraa is ranked 17,585^th in the world and 72^nd in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Highest Food Quality, scoring 124.97 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
