The Lucky Gold Randomisation of Aleator is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Luke Rhinehart with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, ritual sacrifices, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.344 billion Aleatorians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bedlam. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Aleatorian economy, worth a remarkable 4,435 trillion lucky golden fractals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 255,732 lucky golden fractals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shaken martini sales have soared in nations surrounding Aleator, ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Aleatorian beaches, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, and many of the country's largest dumps can be seen from space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aleator's national animal is the dicedog vampire bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Chance.

Aleator is ranked 290,989^th in the world and 10^th in Glass Gallows for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -17.73 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
