The Kingdom of Alvosa is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by King John 4th and PM Ben White with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 807 million Alvosans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cadalla. The average income tax rate is 20.0%.

The very strong Alvosan economy, worth 64.4 trillion Alvosan Sallers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 79,787 Alvosan Sallers, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Commercial breaks often lead to nervous breakdowns, the Federal Council of Alvosa has been announced as the new Head of State, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alvosa's national animal is the Duck with 8 legs and laser eyes, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alvosa is ranked 78,649^th in the world and 29^th in Aspen for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 4,483.76 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
