The Cosmic Realm of Alainian Otters is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.174 billion Alainian Ottersians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Alainian Ottersian economy, worth 61.1 trillion Argents a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 28,094 Argents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alainian Otters's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Alainian Otters is ranked 294,525^th in the world and 717^th in Horizon for Most Developed, scoring 46.54 on the Human Development Index.
