Overview
The Flying Island of Alfredistan is a massive, devout nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.944 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Defence and the Environment are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82%. A very small private sector is dominated by the Soda Sales industry.
