The Rogue Nation of Alliestrum is a titanic, cultured nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, unlimited-speed roads, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 14.328 billion Alliestrumians 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 minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Administration, with Law & Order and Spirituality not funded at all. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Alliestrumian economy, worth a remarkable 4,493 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 313,637 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

The police have been reduced to using duct tape instead of handcuffs following further cutbacks, military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, triple black diamond is the only ski difficulty, and literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Alliestrum's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Alliestrum is ranked 554^th in the world and 10^th in Osiris for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,294.35 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
