The Democratic Republic of Inner Albania is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Robert Hoxha with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.877 billion Inner 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Tirana. The average income tax rate is 67.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Inner Albanian economy, worth 503 trillion leks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,974 leks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, members of ethnic minorities are more often called "boy" or "girl" than by their actual names, and a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inner Albania's national animal is the white-tailed eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Inner Albania is ranked 14,544^th in the world and 346^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 334.59 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
