Alterrum is a federation of 24 states, based on culture, geography and history. The region has been historically decentralized - a unified state hadn't existed until the foundation of the federation in 1832, which at the time began as a trade union. Most governmental functions have remained under the control of states and local municipalities or ''kommuner'', where citizens are involved directly, so Alterrum can also be described as a semi-direct democracy. Since its inception in the 19th century, the federation has avoided military conflicts with other nations.

Alterrum has a well preserved natural environment due to a political consensus about environmental protection, as nature is traditionally held in high regard. The country is also seeking to become a carbon-negative nation, removing more greenhouse gases than emitting, by 2015.
+
Until the 20th century, Alterrum had a relatively small population, averaging around one million citizens, with its economy relying largely upon fishing and mining. However, the population saw a rapid increase after Alterrum liberalized its immigration laws in the 1920s. Since then, immigration has been a large contributor to Alterrum's population growth and cultural development. Introducing large-scale industrialisation programs and social and labor-market reforms at the same time provided the basis for the present welfare state with a highly developed economy.
  
−
Politically, Alterrum is best described as deeply democratic, liberal and stable. The range of political positions of politicians is wide and there are many alternatives for the voters to choose from. Nevertheless, decision-making is consensus-driven, and making sure that everyone has been able to voice their opinion is a priority. Ideology doesn't play a big role, and politics is generally laid-back and relaxed.
+
Today, Alterrum has a market-socialist economy, characterized by high social mobility and a high standard of living. Efforts have been made to democratize businesses - for example, workers in large corporations vote for their company's board. Alterrum ranks high in political and economic stability, and has largely been unaffected by the late financial crisis. Equality of all sorts is traditionally highly valued in Alterrum, but due to market-based reforms implemented in the 1990s, income inequality has been steadily increasing.

Alterrum has a market-based economy, while maintaining a welfare system that provides universal healthcare and free education up to and including the tertiary level. It has also embraced corporate welfare, where small business is heavily subsidized to encourage local economic development. Starting a business is very easy, but large corporations and the economy in general are much more regulated. Efforts have been made to democratize large business - for example, workers in large corporations vote for 50% of their company's board. Protests and strikes are taken as a fundamental right, and conflicts are usually solved in 3-way negotiations between unions, corporations and the state. Minimum wages are set by unions for their respective sectors. Alterrum has one of the highest tax rates in the world, however many citizens are not anti-tax, and would welcome even higher taxes to pay for a fair and well-functioning society.

Alterran culture is founded upon its Norse heritage, which in some ways has remained very similar to its original form, as European explorers after the 15th century never colonized the island. However, it has also developed its own perks as immigration has been a large contributor to Alterrum's population growth since the 19th century. With even higher rates of immigration and support for it in recent years, modern Alterran culture is an increasingly changing mix of cultures from around the world, with everyone contributing their own bit. Currently, 36% of people living in Alterrum were born in another country.

Alterrum, officially the Federation of Alterrum, is an island country located in northern Canada. The country has a population of 8,623,713 and a total area of 526,830 square kilometers. The capital and largest city is Kiroesatta. Around 70% of Alterrum lies above the Arctic Circle, and most of the country has a subarctic climate. It is a mountainous country with a long mountain range spanning the northeastern shoreline, and is rich in forests in the south.

Alterrum is a federation of 24 states. The region has been historically decentralized - a unified state did not exist before the foundation of the federation in 1832, which at the time began as a trade union. Many governmental functions have remained under the control of states and local municipalities, where direct citizen involvement is quite common, so Alterrum can also be described as a semi-direct democracy. Since its inception in the 19th century, the federation has avoided military conflicts with other nations, and follows a policy of neutrality.

Until the 20th century, Alterrum had a relatively small population, averaging around one million citizens, with its economy relying largely upon fishing and mining. However, the population saw a rapid increase after Alterrum liberalized its immigration laws in the 1920s. Since then, immigration has been a large contributor to Alterrum's population growth and cultural development. Introducing large-scale industrialisation programs and social and labor-market reforms at the same time provided the basis for the present welfare state with a highly developed economy.

Today, Alterrum has a market-socialist economy, characterized by high social mobility and a high standard of living. Efforts have been made to democratize businesses - for example, workers in large corporations vote for their company's board. Alterrum ranks high in political and economic stability, and has largely been unaffected by the late financial crisis. Equality of all sorts is traditionally highly valued in Alterrum, but due to market-based reforms implemented in the 1990s, income inequality has been steadily increasing.
