The Dictatorship of Altiflonium is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 9.495 billion Altifloniumians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Altifloniumian economy, worth 95.2 trillion mikas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 10,023 mikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altiflonium's national animal is the Owl.

Altiflonium is ranked 180,504^th in the world and 4^th in Altino for Most Patriotic, with 9.37 flags saluted per person per day.
