The Republic of Almirus1 is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President - General with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.445 billion Almiru enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golden City. The average income tax rate is 45.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Almirian economy, worth 820 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 184,673 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road, bris parties are all the rage, and the number of judges has tripled in recent months. Crime is totally unknown. Almirus1's national animal is the Blue Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism Buddhism.

Almirus1 is ranked 34,841^st in the world and 701^st in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,190.82 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
