The United Kingdom of Alyssatopia is a large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 192 million Alyssatopians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.3%.

The Alyssatopian economy, worth 9.43 trillion Leeras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,135 Leeras, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, lonely children write fanfiction about absent fathers, the moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP, and citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alyssatopia's national animal is the Bluey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Alyssatopia is ranked 234,080^th in the world and 148^th in Benigtopia for Nicest Citizens, with 11.33 average smiles per day.
