The Empire of Alothia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Mhaelrath with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.105 billion Alothians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Nexus. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alothian economy, worth a remarkable 2,658 trillion Lancins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 291,995 Lancins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, it's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, a rebrand a day keeps the debt collectors away, and senior literature classes are left analysing why Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is so darn sunny. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Alothia's national animal is the Great Horned Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alothia is ranked 9,611^th in the world and 5^th in The Galactics Union for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,887.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
