The Imperium of Altrizons is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by The Eternal Emperor with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.107 billion Altrizonsians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pandanpolis. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Altrizonsian economy, worth a remarkable 3,053 trillion Blemflarcks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 335,267 Blemflarcks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them, fortified nursing homes are wracked with daily skirmishes, and suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altrizons's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is BunBunism.

Altrizons is ranked 239,264^th in the world and 8,446^th in Balder for Fattest Citizens, with 7.9 Obesity Rate.
