The Kingdom of Alvissaras is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 45 million Alvissarasians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Alvissarasian economy, worth 1.08 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 23,943 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, voters are one of the nation's top imports, and Leader is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime is totally unknown. Alvissaras's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alvissaras is ranked 83,945^th in the world and 20^th in Portugal for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,453.64 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
