The Dominion of Saint Alaric

“Omnes Res Bene Facere”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Dominion of Saint Alaric is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Mister T with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.128 billion Saint Alaricians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lusitania. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Saint Alarician economy, worth a remarkable 1,554 trillion gils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 191,220 gils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Solid-gold toilets are Saint Alarician prisons' least expensive furnishings, unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Lusitania make great practice for foreign snipers, space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Saint Alaric, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Alaric's national animal is the narwhal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Saint Alaric is ranked 2,170^th in the world and 90^th in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 748.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
