The Kingdom of Alakis is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 352 million Alakisians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalis. The average income tax rate is 34.7%.

The powerhouse Alakisian economy, worth 30.3 trillion lumens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,009 lumens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, 3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, and politicians can be seen taking candy from babies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Alakis's national animal is the snowy owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alakis is ranked 29,196^th in the world and 32^nd in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 51.81 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
