The Pink Holy Christmas of Alf Landon is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 36.756 billion Alf Landonians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alf Landonian economy, worth a remarkable 4,683 trillion gold bars a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 127,413 gold bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, the government is proudly free of crabs, and tax rises are attributed to divine will. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alf Landon's national animal is the bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.

Alf Landon is ranked 310,169^th in the world and 4,137^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -25.62 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
