The Ancient Imperium of Alistia is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Arawn Ymerawdwr Tywyll yr Isfyd with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, avowedly heterosexual populace, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 24.876 billion Alistians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Teml Awyr. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Alistian economy, worth a remarkable 6,645 trillion Doegs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 267,125 Doegs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, the image of Alistia's future is just a picture from last century, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, and people are left scratching their heads at the government's decisions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alistia's national animal is the Akhal-Teke, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Ecclesia Hominibus.

Alistia is ranked 330,557^th in the world and 7^th in The Mystical Alliance for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -28.68 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
