The Confederacy of Alpine Lands is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Federal Executive Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 10.146 billion Alpine Landers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New New Belgrade. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Alpine Lander economy, worth 732 trillion Kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,149 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conspiracy theorists allege New New Belgrade's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alpine Lands's national animal is the Vucko of Sarajevo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alpine Lands is ranked 218,053^rd in the world and 430^th in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 8.84 Obesity Rate.
