The United Nation of Alans Land is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by the National Assembly with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.104 billion Alans Landians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 31.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alans Landian economy, worth a remarkable 3,853 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 294,076 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, the taste of spices can sail a thousand ships, conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, and the comic book series 'The National Assembly and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller. Crime is totally unknown. Alans Land's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alans Land is ranked 225,775^th in the world and 10,772^nd in Balder for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 239.95 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
