The New Realm of Alexandria of Lanorth is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Leader Gladstone with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.921 billion Alexandrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Cassiopeia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Alexandrian economy, worth 437 trillion Standard Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 227,638 Standard Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 657,368 per year while the poor average 62,540, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

The country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, trespassers entering Leader Gladstone's office are immediately vaporized, maritime signalling has become tedious since only the Alexandrian flag can be displayed, and baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lanorth's national animal is the Black Guillemot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Strict Secularism.

Lanorth is ranked 66,668^th in the world and 3,488^th in The North Pacific for Largest Agricultural Sector, scoring 1,620.63 on the Mu-Bah-Daggs Productivity Index.
