The Socialist Republic of Altomon is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Joseph S Maring with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.685 billion Altomonians 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, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mosae Trajectum. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Altomonian economy, worth 387 trillion Guilders 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, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. 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 impressive 105,077 Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Brains have been removed from lists of best brain foods, finders keepers is the law of the land, it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, and searches for the word 'monopoly' have skyrocketed since the government rolled out its very own social media platform. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altomon's national animal is the Korenwolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Altomon is ranked 6,586th in the world and 167th in The Communist Bloc for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 7,204.08 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
