The True Democracy of AltoBas is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the people with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.288 billion AltoBasians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ursina. The average income tax rate is 29.6%.

The frighteningly efficient AltoBasian economy, worth 284 trillion Denars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,372 Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations continue to displace native peoples off their land, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, solid-gold toilets are AltoBasian prisons' least expensive furnishings, and the government throws money at problems when in a jam. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AltoBas's national animal is the Dingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

AltoBas is ranked 10,930^th in the world and 422^nd in Balder for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 87,558.26 Standard Monetary Units.
