The Home of Alf Landon is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Harry Truman with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 31.749 billion Alf Landonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roosevelt. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alf Landonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,800 trillion euros a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 88,205 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel, elite teams of assassins have been sent into Brasilistan, the armed forces have designated 'murder teams' that root out rebels in Brasilistan, and captured Brasilistani POWs are staying in 5-star hotels. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alf Landon's national animal is the bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is social democracy.

Alf Landon is ranked 51,112^th in the world and 1,104^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 145.13 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
