The Federal Republic of Alaniann is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Duke of Akafheche with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.076 billion Alanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prasaw. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Alaniannian economy, worth 658 trillion Alannis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 161,480 Alannis, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 810,229 per year while the poor average 18,031, a ratio of 44.9 to 1.

Most governmental positions are filled by zealous nationalists, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, and pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Alaniann's national animal is the Alan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Alaniann is ranked 42,465^th in the world and 4^th in Perdita for Largest Governments, scoring 23.94 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
