“Dare Say We All”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Queen's State of Alcona Gold is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 23.437 billion Alcona Goldians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 76.4%.

The large but underdeveloped Alcona Goldian economy, worth 802 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 34,229 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Euthanasia is illegal, elections have been outlawed, there are no minimum wage laws, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alcona Gold's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alcona Gold is ranked 84,281^st in the world and 1^st in Vilnius for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.96 law-abiding acts per hour.
