The Community of Alvernau is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.44 billion Alvernauns enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alvernau. The average income tax rate is 89.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Alvernauan economy, worth 738 trillion Alvs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 99,280 Alvs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Aspiring authors begrudgingly help proofread issue submissions (Alvernau has found 2 easter eggs), children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, and reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alvernau's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Alvernau is ranked 286,165th in the world and 36th in Deutschland for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.53 kickbacks per hour.
