Alexandrachos Tribal Republic

One of the Rising powers of the East, the Alexandrachos Tribal Republic serves as a bulwark of democracy against the encroaching menace of *greck* socialism. A bastion of industry, science, social progress and regional influence, the Republic has risen far since its wild days as a menagerie of disparate tribes.

Under the leadership of the Varek Administration, the Republic has vaulted to a new level of living standards and industrial progress, which promises to continue.

The Countries primary trades are in coal, fish and seafood, Cattle, agricultural products, fine silks and textiles, and precision machinery, a burgeoning electronics industry is also growing. Alexandrachos is also regarded as the world's chief producer of silk undergarments. While their heavy industry is still growing under the commercial expansion programs of the Varek government, the country is generally self-sufficient in production of native machinery, though their trade circles and close association with neighboring states is often able to compensate for native shortfalls.

As of 1944, the Republic is one of the leading powers of the Trans-Trevantian Co-Prosperity Initiative, or TRACPI, wherein it and the Republic of Cacea have united their economies for common expansion and better utilization of resources. the two countries have also embarked on a joint naval expansion program in response to the GCK's expansion into the Central Emhist Islands, as well as acting to assert the territorial independence of these regions in the face of the Greck's incursions.

Alexandrachos is known for being an open-minded and tolerant society, and is not unfriendly to foreigners or immigration. Indeed, the reforms of the prior governments of Axel Varek and Hadrian Marcellas encouraged vast development of the hinterlands through settlement, inviting political and religious refugees to establish communities, such as Pteroslavian Rodinist enclaves. The nation's enfranchisement of these groups through generational birthright citizenship mean that the country has become exceptionally liberal in societal outlook, with full gender and ethnic equality in legal, representative and and voting rights.

Alexandrachos is one of the few countries in the world to possess a large Faun-humanoid population, being the home and native birthplace of the feline-cast Pantera people. Centuries of cross-populating with humans, in an aspect that is baffling to biologists and scientists abroad, have reduced the more animalistic aspects of the Pantera, to the point that there are concerns among the Pantera tribal leaders about low "pure lineage" birth rates. The republic also has a large population of the reptilian Coatlque, and it is not an uncommon sight to see representatives of all three major hominid cast interacting.

The nation, for all its wealth, does not suffer from the same "haves and have nots" issues typically found in capitalist economies. While there are certainly those who are wealthier, the national conscience and societal pressure to "give back" have engendered a spirit of "Philanthropic Capitalism" where the captains of industry express their wealth through vast public works or community initiatives, as well as generous donations to public aid groups in the establishing of support mechanisms for those "less fortunate" and the still-expanding refugee groups who come from abroad. Public housing and wealth taxes have ensured that the population of homeless individuals has dropped to near-zero, while government coffers are flush with national wealth, keeping the taxation of the common people at reasonable rates.
