The State of Albey is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 21.967 billion Albeyians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.
The thriving Albeyian economy, worth 931 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 42,417 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 122,846 per year while the poor average 11,606, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.
All tariffs have been abolished, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, Albey has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Albey in an international press conference. Crime is a problem. Albey's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Albey is ranked 167,795th in the world and 6th in Saint Georges for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 723.66 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
