The Democratic Commonwealth of Alcrosnia is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 564 million Alcrosnis enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. The average income tax rate is 27.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Alcrosni economy, worth 74.7 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 132,435 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, and traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways. Crime is totally unknown. Alcrosnia's national animal is the Crowned Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alcrosnia is ranked 169,764^th in the world and 888^th in Europe for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 59.64 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
