The Grand Republic of Alesina is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Kamaya Southfield with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.027 billion Alesinans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lucent. The average income tax rate is 35.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alesinan economy, worth a remarkable 1,552 trillion lashans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,846 lashans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Alesinans suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, Kamaya Southfield's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, and the government is avowedly secular. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Alesina's national animal is the phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Quinquevirate Pantheon.

Alesina is ranked 26,133^rd in the world and 38^th in Aesica for Most Developed, scoring 84.47 on the Human Development Index.
