The Democratic Republic of Altorderes

“Strength Through Freedom”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Republic of Altorderes is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 110 million Altordese enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The Altordese economy, worth 5.81 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is 52,820 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Nervous homeowners have been blamed for rising death rates amongst carol singers and locksmiths, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", what goes down must come up, and an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Altorderes's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Altorderes is ranked 99,717^th in the world and 103^rd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Smartest Citizens, with 35.94 quips per hour.
