The Borderlands of Altique is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Luth'er Vaserty with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, strictly enforced bedtime, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 24.732 billion Altiqueans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baltimore City. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Altiquean economy, worth a remarkable 4,730 trillion Altes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 191,264 Altes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, the Altiquean delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and the nation's weary schoolchildren excel at sport but must count scores on their fingers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altique's national animal is the Teddy bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is YEHVEH.
Altique is ranked 4,092nd in the world and 2nd in International Northwestern Union for Most Stationary, with 3,509.70608712 days.
