The Queendom of Altinception is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 12.176 billion Altinceptionians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Altinceptionian economy, worth 110 trillion mikas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,068 mikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altinception's national animal is the Owl.

Altinception is ranked 314,448^th in the world and 25^th in Altino for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -9.26 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
