The Republic of Altzscia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 10.298 billion Altzscians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.8%.

The very strong Altzscian economy, worth 521 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 50,656 rubles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 248,271 per year while the poor average 5,922, a ratio of 41.9 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is a problem. Altzscia's national animal is the swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Altzscia is ranked 253,414^th in the world and 4^th in The Kaiserreich for Lowest Crime Rates, with 50.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
