The Apocalyptic Wastelands of Allishive is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kells Babin with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.406 billion Allishiveans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astana. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Allishivic economy, worth a remarkable 1,695 trillion Allishivic Rubles 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 162,981 Allishivic Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, the typical murderer weighs 150kg and has hairy arms, press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause, and pet owners want to know why their animals keep smiling at them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Allishive's national animal is the Slav, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Allishive is ranked 6,584^th in the world and 5^th in New Western Atlantic for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,977.07 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
