The Admiralty of Alnorud is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Lord Amyral Stanislas with an even hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, national health service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 14.207 billion Alnorudians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Syltrevas. The average income tax rate is 72.8%.

The strong Alnorudian economy, worth a remarkable 1,048 trillion Alnyrs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,790 Alnyrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, distrust of taps has many people bathing only with bottled mineral water, students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations, and it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alnorud's national animal is the Snow Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Faith of the Seas.

Alnorud is ranked 140,934^th in the world and 24^th in Warzone Asia for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.04 percentage of bribes refused.
