The Leviathan of Alorgaze is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Earenzel with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, otherworldly petting zoo, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.676 billion Gazians 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 minute, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alorgan. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Gazian economy, worth a remarkable 5,197 trillion Agands 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 380,025 Agands, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, taxpayer-funded government ads are promoting Brancaland as a premier filming location, Alorgaze Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', and muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Alorgaze's national animal is the Gazian Polar Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Alorgaze is ranked 81,895th in the world and 7th in The Axis of Evil for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,517.54 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
