The Democratic Republic of Almadaria is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by 'El Jefe' Sergio Arbelaez with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 13.087 billion Almadarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Piedratórres. The average income tax rate is 87.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Almadarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,439 trillion dolareses a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,019 dolareses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care, school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, and vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Almadaria's national animal is the queztal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Almadaria is ranked 4,245^th in the world and 3^rd in Badlands Frontier for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 14,738.91 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
