The Syndical Laborist Union of Alterdia 2 is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Me with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.556 billion Alterians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Los Alterdis. The average income tax rate is 23.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Alterdian economy, worth 238 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 93,449 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, snitches get riches, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Alterdia 2 as a reminder of their "special relationship", and stale 'yo mamma' insults have been replaced by 'your maternal DNA' insults. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Alterdia 2's national animal is the Homo habilis, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Alterdia 2 is ranked 98,311^th in the world and 5,359^th in Balder for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,999.75 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
