The Cayon Democratic Republic of Altnavia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by UCL Imo Isimo Arudskan Kagaisuao with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.565 billion Altnavians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New South Naranja. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Altnavian economy, worth 536 trillion Nulcranis a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,330 Nulcranis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, and the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Altnavia's national animal is the Avren Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Naelitaism.

Altnavia is ranked 274,310^th in the world and 4,951^st in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.64 flags saluted per person per day.
