The Federal Union of Almorea is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Alasdair Hallowell with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The democratic, devout population of 5.77 billion Almoreans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ellsburgh. The average income tax rate is 75.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Almorean economy, worth 482 trillion Almorean dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,596 Almorean dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Almorean roads, anyone can get ahead in life if they want to, village elders are often called in to interpret voting outcomes in Parliament, and glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Almorea's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ecclesiastic Act Christianity.

Almorea is ranked 22,173^rd in the world and 48^th in The Western Isles for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,132.67 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
