The Dominion of Albescia is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.719 billion Albescians 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 prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Albescian economy, worth 945 trillion Denaris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 200,377 Denaris, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 804,315 per year while the poor average 33,451, a ratio of 24.0 to 1.
The nation has nearly as many history museums as Albescians, rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, and nuclear submarines have been deployed to protect the nation's banana supply. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Albescia's national animal is the blue jay, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Albescia is ranked 238,879th in the world and 7,600th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 22.04697894548 days.
