The Duchy of Alsace is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Childéric-Maximilien de Folgensbourg with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 32.405 billion Alsatians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strasbourg. The average income tax rate is 37.4%.

The strong Alsatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,590 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 49,069 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Roman Catholicism has been named as Alsace's national religion, Childéric-Maximilien de Folgensbourg has just been declared ruler of Alsace in an international press conference, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, and abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alsace's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Alsace is ranked 159,641^st in the world and 30^th in Grant for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 70.68 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
