The North Pacific
The Empire of Allotherlands is a tiny, devout nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 36%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Allotherlands's national animal is the whale and its currency is the gold.
