The Scientific Romance of Gates of Alexander is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alexander of the Walls with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.786 billion Sentries love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caspian Gates. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Sentinel economy, worth a remarkable 2,169 trillion porticoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 201,135 porticoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gates of Alexander's national animal is the Gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cyclopean Masonry.

Gates of Alexander is ranked 175,823rd in the world and 12th in The Horde for Most Stationary, with 87.79357575652 days.
