The Republic of Alcrestia Liakar is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Kalis de Accora with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9.303 billion Alcrestians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sol de Liakar. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alcrestian economy, worth a remarkable 1,702 trillion akories a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,057 akories, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Alcrestia Liakar, and belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alcrestia Liakar's national animal is the sun wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alcrestia Liakar is ranked 211,343^rd in the world and 5,424^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -5.66 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
