The Republic of Alteo12 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning animal population. The hard-nosed population of 3.529 billion Alteo12ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 25.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Alteo12ian economy, worth 134 trillion currencies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,216 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alteo12's national animal is the animal.

Alteo12 is ranked 206,055^th in the world and 7,666^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 28,356.86 Standard Monetary Units.
