The Grand Republic of Albithica is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Laura Roslin with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, national health service, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 20.35 billion Albithicans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Albith. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Albithican economy, worth a remarkable 3,491 trillion Marks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,584 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, the art of conversation has been rediscovered, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, and President Laura Roslin is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Albithica's national animal is the Cardinal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Albithica is ranked 311,533^rd in the world and 160^th in Anteria for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 2,745.35 Standard Monetary Units.
