The Republic of Altopernmal is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.914 billion Altopernmalians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Altopernmalian economy, worth 541 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,289 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, the environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up, in court almost every witness is a hostile witness, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altopernmal's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Altopernmal is ranked 58,420^th in the world and 2^nd in Great Pandora for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 66.51 Effective Tax Rate.
