The Federal Republic of Aloustein is a very large, safe nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, avowedly heterosexual populace, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 372 million Alousteinians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ödenskaya. The average income tax rate is 41.7%.

The Alousteinian economy, worth 19.7 trillion dollar Aloustighs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,908 dollar Aloustighs, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

It is common to still see adults with training wheels on their bikes, unpopular scientists are shunned by name, jumping in puddles after rainstorms has become an indoor activity, and citizens spend millions on microtransactions to feed virtual orphans while actual orphans starve overseas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aloustein's national animal is the furet, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Aloustein is ranked 98,759^th in the world and 23^rd in Tarkin for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 914.45 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
