The People's Eco-Republic of Alsaela is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Skogsderwyð with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.573 billion Almen 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Æþarsmauþ. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alsaelan economy, worth a remarkable 1,013 trillion Misþurs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 133,851 Misþurs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Populations of two-headed Derwyðelgs have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and entomologists flock to Æþarsmauþ for its remarkable gadfly population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alsaela's national animal is the Derwyðelg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Astraia.

Alsaela is ranked 8,414^th in the world and 426^th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 123 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
