The Galactic Corporate Republic of Altopranoss is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Chairman Anderson with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.594 billion Altopranossians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baritonia. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Altopranossian economy, worth a remarkable 1,229 trillion Byte Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 219,859 Byte Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, the Altopranossian Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', and vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas. Crime is totally unknown. Altopranoss's national animal is the Bit Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tenet Corporation.

Altopranoss is ranked 31,790^th in the world and 1^st in Legion of the Regionless for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
