The Confederacy of Alaroma is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Queen Rosa Cossette D'Elise with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 13.955 billion Alaromans 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Hope. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alaroman economy, worth a remarkable 1,944 trillion Francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 139,373 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare", confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, and foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alaroma's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Congrgation of Jehovah and Christ.

Alaroma is ranked 280,824^th in the world and 10,690^th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5.43 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
