The Very totally freean Puppet of Albania but better is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by John Puppet with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.816 billion Albania but betterians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tirana but better. The average income tax rate is 27.9%.
The very strong Albania but betterian economy, worth 254 trillion Carnival tickets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 90,240 Carnival tickets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.
Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, schoolchildren are arrested for possessing sidewalk chalk without a permit, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, and veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Albania but better's national animal is the Goose, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is GodlyLeaderism.
Albania but better is ranked 49,563rd in the world and 6th in The Empire for Highest Poor Incomes, with 41,503.53 Standard Monetary Units.
