The True Democracy of AltoBas is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by the people with a fair hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.232 billion AltoBasians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ursina. The average income tax rate is 32.6%.

The frighteningly efficient AltoBasian economy, worth 275 trillion Denars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,542 Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Denar treacle machine, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, corporations continue to displace native peoples off their land, and wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AltoBas's national animal is the Dingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

AltoBas is ranked 164,611^th in the world and 9,152^nd in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 671.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
