The Dominion of Albend is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 495 million Albanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Albendopolis. The average income tax rate is 50.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Albanian economy, worth 40.6 trillion harps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,957 harps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

A new "thought police" branch is being developed, white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, merchant ships always travel line astern in Albanian waters, and carbon-footprint restrictions are making businesses walk. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Albend's national animal is the pig, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Albend is ranked 53,964^th in the world and 1,173^rd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
