The Empire of Alreaa is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Xi Yuan Ping with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.772 billion Alreaans 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 Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yanjing. The average income tax rate is 81.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Alreaan economy, worth 689 trillion Fangs 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 144,499 Fangs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children spout "Let the 5 billion flowers bloom" involuntarily throughout the day, five-hundred-twenty-five-thousand-six-hundred revivals is how theatre-goers measure a year, card collectors duel to the death, and bleach is the nation's most common pesticide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alreaa's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Confucianism.

Alreaa is ranked 33,613^th in the world and 2,133^rd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
