The Constitutional Monarchy of The Empire of Alerba is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Malindyis I with a fair hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.13 billion Alerbi hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Alerb City. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Alerbi economy, worth 243 trillion Imperial Lire a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 114,115 Imperial Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Supermarkets must refund spoilt milk even six months after the sale, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, private digital records now come with a convenient "download" button, and Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Empire of Alerba's national animal is the Rainbow Trout, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Empire of Alerba is ranked 9,584th in the world and 11th in Concord for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 416.77 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
