The People's Republic of Alyoka is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 848 million Alyokans 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 juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Altaygrad. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Alyokan economy, worth 40.1 trillion grikas 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 47,277 grikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Dolphin Dung" has been declared a national treasure, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and the government is encouraging violence on television. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alyoka's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Alyoka is ranked 156,496^th in the world and 2,427^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,433.25 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
