The United Socialist States of Alverdonia is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 986 million Alverdonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alturasan. The average income tax rate is 43.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Alverdonian economy, worth 29.0 trillion Alverds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 29,363 Alverds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Some Alverdonian athletes have defected to Blackacre after being denied the chance to compete in international sporting events, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Alturasan to enjoy their national art, it is well recognised that you can't sustain communism without a bit of spirit, and elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Alverd mansions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alverdonia's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Alverdonia is ranked 133,730th in the world and 2,394th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 745.08 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
