Nation/Alexatian

The Socialist Minecraftian State of Alexatian is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Alexander P Allen with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 3.897 billion Alexatianians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minetown. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The all-consuming Alexatianian economy, worth 501 trillion Allen Dollers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 128,707 Allen Dollers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financials criminals, skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alexatian's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of the Creeper.
