The Irken Colony of Alienmarky is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Cthulhu with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 15.224 billion Alienmarkyians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brizzle. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.0%.
The Alienmarkyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,360 trillion Squeedlyspooches a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,382 Squeedlyspooches, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.
Alienmarkyians seem to be catching more chills, people have become comfortably numb, politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems, and there's never enough space in space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alienmarky's national animal is the GIR, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Alienmarky is ranked 156,158th in the world and 216th in Eurth for Most Stationary, with 139.6252925842 days.
