The Second Republic of Aliona is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Charles de Maule with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.668 billion Alionans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avitou. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Alionan economy, worth a remarkable 3,301 trillion Ionas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 380,891 Ionas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,438,820 per year while the poor average 5,116, a ratio of 672 to 1.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, children are brutally beaten for saying gyatt and skibidi, organ donation is compulsory, and battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Aliona's national animal is the Honk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is OnlyHonk.

Aliona is ranked 318,134^th in the world and 161^st in Canada for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -75 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
