The Democratic Commonwealth of Alcrosnia is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 553 million Alcrosnis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. The average income tax rate is 26.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Alcrosni economy, worth 73.2 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 132,369 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Political detractors refer to Leader as 'that Bigtopian puppet', crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, hordes of faceless civil servants are running cities, and tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense. Crime is totally unknown. Alcrosnia's national animal is the Crowned Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alcrosnia is ranked 19,819^th in the world and 401^st in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 117.67 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
