The People's Republic of Alangrad is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Premier Alan with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.397 billion Alangradians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alantropolis. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Alangradian economy, worth a remarkable 5,919 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 Tourism. 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 411,175 Alanmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rare art has become a significant factor in negotiating all foreign trade agreements, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, the temple hierarchy have found that endorsements are even more lucrative than indulgences, and veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations. 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 1,863rd in the world and 27th in The Communist Bloc for Most Cultured, scoring 274 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
