The People's Republic of Altrak is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 562 million Altrakians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 46.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Altrakian economy, worth 61.6 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 109,540 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

At least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Leader's wardrobe, the government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, the government funds large training centres to turn Wolves into functioning members of society, and election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Altrak's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Altrak is ranked 192,001^st in the world and 10,015^th in Osiris for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.8 percentage of bribes refused.
