The True Democracy of AltoBas is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the people with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.369 billion AltoBasians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ursina. The average income tax rate is 30.3%.

The frighteningly efficient AltoBasian economy, worth 295 trillion Denars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,525 Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations continue to displace native peoples off their land, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, solid-gold toilets are AltoBasian prisons' least expensive furnishings, and the government throws money at problems when in a jam. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AltoBas's national animal is the Dingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

AltoBas is ranked 16,313^th in the world and 897^th in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 88.09 on the Human Development Index.
