Location: The Continent of Agonartha

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Benevolent Social Republic of Allbeama is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chancellor Frederick Albandor with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed population of 4.729 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Healthcare and Law & Order are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Allbeamsgard. The average income tax rate is 55%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing.

Prison visits increase substantially during election years, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Allbeama's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Allbeaman Dollar.

Allbeama is ranked 9th in The Continent of Agonartha and 115,655th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 8 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
