The Democratic Republic of Alonde is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by First Magistrate McCartnon with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.305 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 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Alondean economy, worth 64.9 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 49,727 Alondean Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, First Magistrate McCartnon's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and First Magistrate McCartnon's personal home is one of The North Pacific's most notorious party destinations. Crime 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 64,955^th in the world and 1,915^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
