The Community of Alvestad is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.844 billion Alvestadians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of drug vally. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Alvestadian economy, worth a remarkable 4,523 trillion notings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 197,997 notings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, one can wake up in Alvestad and have breakfast in Bigtopia, and the government loves seeing the little people fight. Crime is totally unknown. Alvestad's national animal is the with ekedog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shamanism.
Alvestad is ranked 4,417th in the world and 29th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 3,437.7061332 days.
