The People's Republic of Alangrad is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Premier Alan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 11.495 billion Alangradians 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, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alantropolis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Alangradian economy, worth a remarkable 5,328 trillion Alanmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 463,506 Alanmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Royalist is the most offensive slur in the Alangradian language, a punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions, small children are frequently chased by rehabilitated pitbulls, and knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Alangrad's national animal is the Moose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Marxism-Alanism.

Alangrad is ranked 755^th in the world and 3^rd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 16,838.78 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
