The Elephantine Ruled Society of Alantic empire is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Sir Raleigh with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.805 billion Alantic empireans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Swamp City. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Alantic empirean economy, worth a remarkable 2,214 trillion Storieses 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, 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 325,452 Storieses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, and there is a law against "filthy foreign food". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alantic empire's national animal is the Hippos, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Elephantism.

Alantic empire is ranked 774^th in the world and 21^st in the Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 306,022.53 Standard Monetary Units.
