The Democratic Republic of Aleksan is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and enforced nudity. The hard-working population of 1.205 billion Aleksanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The very strong Aleksanian economy, worth 73.4 trillion Aleksanderies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 60,919 Aleksanderies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 176,428 per year while the poor average 16,669, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, Aleksan has designated Aleksan City as its capital city, and diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat". Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aleksan's national animal is the TheVeganka, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Aleksan is ranked 241,654^th in the world and 3,579^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Black Market, with 181 billion Standard Monetary Units.
