The Commonwealth of Albario is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, avant-garde cinema, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.747 billion Albarions love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tonoto City. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Albarioan economy, worth 430 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,182 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A vast monorail network carries people all over the country, many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime is totally unknown. Albario's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Albario is ranked 33,255^th in the world and 85^th in Yggdrasil for Smartest Citizens, with 45.99 quips per hour.
