The Federal Republic of Alssia is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Stanislav Lyubchenko with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 5.722 billion Alssians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sinsk. The average income tax rate is 17.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Alssian economy, worth 224 trillion Alssian Koples a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,280 Alssian Koples, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, President Stanislav Lyubchenko has just been declared ruler of Alssia in an international press conference, one can wake up in Alssia and have breakfast in Bigtopia, and a major religion has been named as Alssia's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alssia's national animal is the North Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alssia is ranked 188,128^th in the world and 14^th in North Alliance for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 161.87 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
