The Kingdom of Alakis is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 398 million Alakisians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalis. The average income tax rate is 34.9%.

The powerhouse Alakisian economy, worth 34.1 trillion lumens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,779 lumens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, politicians can be seen taking candy from babies, and only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Alakis's national animal is the snowy owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alakis is ranked 81,737^th in the world and 101^st in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Highest Average Incomes, with 85,779.12 Standard Monetary Units.
