The Republic of Altys2 is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 9.848 billion Altys2ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Altys2ian economy, worth 380 trillion currencies a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,628 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altys2's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Altys2 is ranked 251,685^th in the world and 221^st in Islarabia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 528.63 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
