The Sancti Imperii of Alex Sanctum Salvator is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Alex with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.932 billion Alexians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alex City. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Alex Sanctum Salvatorian economy, worth a remarkable 4,789 trillion Alexcoins 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 a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing 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 240,310 Alexcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Imperator Alex's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, anyone who sleeps in past 9am can be declared legally dead, typing Imperator Alex's name into a search engine always gives zero matches, and viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alex Sanctum Salvator's national animal is the Alexcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Alexism.

Alex Sanctum Salvator is ranked 9,889^th in the world and 2^nd in South Orkney for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,599.07 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
