The Protectorate of The Albionia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Arthur Cromwell with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.828 billion Albionians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Albion. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Albionian economy, worth 356 trillion Pound sterlings a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,082 Pound sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Albionia's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestantism.
The Albionia is ranked 15,496th in the world and 990th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
