The Armed Republic of Albaz is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Joaquin Bautista with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 18.221 billion Albazi are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fyodorovask. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Albazian economy, worth a remarkable 2,304 trillion Albazi Dubloons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 126,493 Albazi Dubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reddish-brown is the new black, a child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, the 'sing-a-long with Joaquin Bautista' album is a popular souvenir, and psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Joaquin Bautista to meetings with foreign heads of state. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Albaz's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Albaz is ranked 8,928^th in the world and 11^th in New Warsaw Pact for Lowest Crime Rates, with 103.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
