The United Kingdom of Alendarion is a fledgling, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 6 million Alendarionians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The very strong Alendarionian economy, worth 373 billion Denar Królewskis a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 62,250 Denar Królewskis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 226,089 per year while the poor average 12,202, a ratio of 18.5 to 1.

Souvenir shops that sell alphorns are taking advantage of gullible tourists, forgotten trend connoisseurs turn their nose at one wrinkle, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and doctors accused of having no heart reply that cardiology isn't their speciality. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Alendarion's national animal is the Pies, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Alendarion is ranked 266,308^th in the world and 38^th in Poland for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
