The Kingdom of Alggarvez is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 349 million Alggarvians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The thriving Alggarvian economy, worth 26.6 trillion Alggarvian Kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 76,333 Alggarvian Kroner, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 249,280 per year while the poor average 17,577, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

Children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of Alggarvian Hippogriffs and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, and copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alggarvez's national animal is the Alggarvian Hippogriff, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alggarvez is ranked 77,262^nd in the world and 1,279^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,970.85 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
