The Factory of Aluminum Oxynitride is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Moe Elsass with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.429 billion Aloneans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burlington. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Alonean economy, worth a remarkable 2,094 trillion Bricks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 200,822 Bricks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, Burlington's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aluminum Oxynitride's national animal is the Puppy, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tolerance.

Aluminum Oxynitride is ranked 285,854^th in the world and 3,604^th in the West Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.53 kickbacks per hour.
