The Ladyship of Alys Rivers is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Prince Regent Aemond Targaryen with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.952 billion Alys Rivers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harrenhal. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Alys Rivers economy, worth 183 trillion golden dragons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 36,981 golden dragons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prince Regent Aemond Targaryen has just been declared ruler of Alys Rivers in an international press conference, the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, the government funds large training centres to turn owls into functioning members of society, and the moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alys Rivers's national animal is the owl and its national religion is the old gods.

Alys Rivers is ranked 140,369^th in the world and 22^nd in Westeros for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 492.3 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
