The One World Government of Alpha2 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Secret Chiefs with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, digital currency, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 43.754 billion Alphatians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Stunövall Sprawl. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Alpha2ian economy, worth an astonishing 24,688 trillion Guineas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 564,265 Guineas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,103,190 per year while the poor average 24,329, a ratio of 168 to 1.

Pocket dialling is a criminal offence, getting caught with the wrong recipe book can get you locked up for 100 - 500 megaseconds, the new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards, and the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Alpha2's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is egotheism.

Alpha2 is ranked 1,263^rd in the world and 5^th in Scandinavia for Largest Populations, with 43.8 billion capita.
