The Shadow Christmas of Eastern Alksearia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Dorothea with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.477 billion Alksearas have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urgia-Nova. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Alksearian economy, worth 115 trillion Alkserain coins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 78,474 Alkserain coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas, saying "don't do anything that Queen Dorothea wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, Queen Dorothea is famed for giving great back rubs, and whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Alksearia's national animal is the Le Polar Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Xaethos.

Eastern Alksearia is ranked 130,502^nd in the world and 4,769^th in The East Pacific for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 254.89 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
