The Federation of Peoples East Aliska is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 181 million East Aliskans 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, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The East Aliskan economy, worth 8.36 trillion Yen a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,178 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, and the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peoples East Aliska's national animal is the Bulldog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Peoples East Aliska is ranked 33,192^nd in the world and 804^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 18.66 average smiles per day.
