The Federation of ALON 3 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Arsinoe with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.762 billion Aloneans 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valantar. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Alonean economy, worth a remarkable 1,027 trillion Good Feelings 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, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. 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 impressive 132,431 Good Feelings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, seats at the back of the bus are reserved for homosexuals, pedants defending Arsinoe observe that psychopaths and sociopaths aren't exactly the same thing, and horns and hypocrisy are the newest exports of ALON 3. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ALON 3's national animal is the Puppy, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roma.

ALON 3 is ranked 69,081^st in the world and 44^th in Empire of Love for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
