- "Melmac was the name of my planet. It's also what it was made out of"
- ― ALF
Melmac was a strange planet located in the Aldente Nebula in the Andromeda Galaxy. It was the homeworld of ALF. Residents of the planet were called Melmacians and they were characterized as being short, furry creatures who have advanced age longevity and multiple stomachs. Melmac was located six parsecs past the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster. Melmac was very much like Earth but it had two moons, it was oddly shaped and made of melmac. Melmac had green skies and blue grass, and it orbited a purple sun. (However, on "Turkey in the Straw: Part 2," ALF claims that Melmac has an orange sky and green clouds).
Melmac's national pastime was mining for yogurt. The planet was once the intergalactic convention site for the Federation of Incredibly Strange Food Groups.
Melmac was destroyed on Gary 71st, 45-7, according to the Melmacian Calendar (1985 on the Earth calendar), although ALF claims his planet exploded on his birthday (28th of Nathanganger), due to nuclear war. ALF wandered through space for a year before crash landing on Earth.

Government
Executive Branch
Melmac is ran by the Imperial Intergalactic Trade Federation, Due to nuclear war, the Imperial Federation enforced the laws of the surrounding planets, Melmac, Alvin, Alvin Heights, Dave (Object Kowal & Chiron) & Pluto & possibly Mars. The Federation signed the Intergalactic Imperious Constitution, However, due to the destruction of Melmac, The Federation made a new Imperious Constitution, This prohibited starships from Melmac to leave a Federation controlled section of the galaxy, ALF became an outlaw & was pursued by the Federation & sneakily swept down to Earth to avoid persecution.
Legislative Branch
The Imperial Intergalactic Trade Federation formed the Imperial Senate & made a persecution law during Melmac's destruction, According to the document that restricted this action clearly stated that "no member of the Imperial Senate shall make a law working against the First Amendment", This document was repealed when the Federation made a new one.
Judicial Branch
The Federation registered a trial for any lawbreaker on any planet under Federation control, This justice system was abolished & replaced when the Federation made the Second Intergalactic Imperious Constitution & was replaced by disciplinary hearings with the Legislative & Executive Branch.

Ancient History
Before Melmacians existed, huge creatures used to roam Melmac. They looked like a cross between a dinosaur and an insurance salesman.
Melmac was discovered 23,000 years ago when Harold Twink accidentally took the wrong exit for Neptune.

In 345, Melmacian Cockroaches are discovered
In 578, Melmac's neighbors, Gwegon, is invaded by Torks, The Federation declares war on Aktoerk, The main planet supplying these creatures, ultimately starting a huge war
In 1243, The war ends
In 1298, Gwegonians declare war on Melmac, The war begins
In 1306, The war ends In 1633, Bart Humphery's front lawn was proclaimed a national treasure.

Presumably in 1990 (the year the TV show ended), ALF's friends Skip and Rhonda have explained that Melmacians have bought a new planet to live on. The new planet was already inhabited, so Melmacians negotiated with the native aliens on the planet. This was said by ALF when he decoded the message sent in the series finale Consider Me Gone.
