The Most Serene Republic of Free Alurumbia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 360 million Free Alurumbians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 57.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Free Alurumbian economy, worth 4.86 trillion Monetas 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 13,491 Monetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Group hugs break out during floor votes, children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Alurumbia's national animal is the All, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Free Alurumbia is ranked 251,773^rd in the world and 89^th in Atlanticana for Most Patriotic, with 1.97 flags saluted per person per day.
