The Dominion of -Aland is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 5.386 billion -Alandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 55.8%.

The frighteningly efficient -Alandian economy, worth 659 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,478 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned unknownball fields, unknowns are considered a delicacy, Leader steals from the rich and gives to the needy, and citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Aland's national animal is the unknown, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

-Aland is ranked 123,536th in the world and 11th in Regions of Finland for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,209.23 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
