The Semi-Constitutional Monarchy of Alinek is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by King Czechoslovakia with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, rampant corporate plagiarism, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 14.855 billion Alinekians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cuscanate. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Alineki economy, worth a remarkable 3,129 trillion Alas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 210,640 Alas, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,188,184 per year while the poor average 18,374, a ratio of 64.7 to 1.

The sick are forced to play medicine lotteries to survive, the highest sporting award is the Grail of Tears, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, and mosh pits are a common phenomenon in King Czechoslovakia's political rallies. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Alinek's national animal is the robin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is one of them.

Alinek is ranked 320,796^th in the world and 65^th in Kerbals of the North for Nicest Citizens, with 0.4 average smiles per day.
