The Democratic Commonwealth of Alcrosnia is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 530 million Alcrosnis enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

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 24.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Alcrosni economy, worth 69.9 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 131,977 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Much of Alcrosnia's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, the nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers, and toilet paper is considered a non-essential item in the embargo against Brasilistan. 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 42,449^th in the world and 593^rd in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 728.9 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
