The Holy Empire of Little Alternia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Her Vigorous Eloquence with an even hand, and notable for its feral children, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.846 billion Congregants 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 Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Fuchsia Cluster. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Congregational economy, worth 81.3 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,049 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Little Alternia's national animal is the lusus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hemognosticism.

Little Alternia is ranked 92,139^th in the world and 4,866^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,224.74 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
