The Community of Alvestad is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and lack of airports. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.683 billion Alvestadians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of drug vally. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Alvestadian economy, worth a remarkable 5,018 trillion notings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 203,315 notings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, recognised healthcare professionals treat diabetes with a grain of sugar in a barrel of water, With Ekedog is one of the most popular forenames in Alvestad, and the aphorism "there's no need to argue" has been dismissed by Alvestadians. Crime is totally unknown. Alvestad's national animal is the with ekedog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shamanism.

Alvestad is ranked 346,342nd in the world and 4,954th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -31.38 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
