The Empire of Warzone Alksearia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Pope Shadow with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical, devout population of 4.244 billion Warzone Alksearians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meliora. The average income tax rate is 40.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Warzone Alksearian economy, worth 150 trillion shadows a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,552 shadows, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, and employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Warzone Alksearia's national animal is the corgi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Ministry.

Warzone Alksearia is ranked 166,321^st in the world and 296^th in Lair of the Dragons for Highest Poor Incomes, with 22,856.48 Standard Monetary Units.
