The Confederacy of Alpine Lands is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by the Federal Executive Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.054 billion Alpine Landers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New New Belgrade. The average income tax rate is 55.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Alpine Lander economy, worth 340 trillion Kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,416 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Discarded pennies litter the streets, the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, souvenir shops that sell alphorns are taking advantage of gullible tourists, and the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alpine Lands's national animal is the Vucko of Sarajevo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Alpine Lands is ranked 10,367th in the world and 208th in Europe for Safest, scoring 120.8 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
