OverviewMapFactbookPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The United Socialist States of Altonium is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by People's Council of Altonium with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.551 billion Altonites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Altonichea. The average income tax rate is 85.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Altonite economy, worth 170 trillion Cortexist Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 109,838 Cortexist Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People's Council of Altonium's office is running a trade deficit of midnight oil, tourists are forbidden to enter Native Altonite lands, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altonium's national animal is the Altonian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Altonium is ranked 107,055th in the world and 10th in The Cortexist International for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 63.33 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
