The Republic of Alice Coltrane is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.888 billion Alice Coltraneans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 48.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Alice Coltranean economy, worth 278 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,304 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and a positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alice Coltrane's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alice Coltrane is ranked 18,103^rd in the world and 1^st in Realm of Et for Nicest Citizens, with 23.56 average smiles per day.
