The Armed Republic of Albionis Basileus is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Aelfred with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, vat-grown people, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.465 billion Albionis Basileusians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Legeceaster. The average income tax rate is 63.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Albionis Basileusian economy, worth 538 trillion Thrymsas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 218,337 Thrymsas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, there's never enough space in space, the flight attendant who draws the short straw is on "cockpit bucket duty", and people think "siege mentality" is a positive trait. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Albionis Basileus's national animal is the Gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Logical Positivism.

Albionis Basileus is ranked 190,844^th in the world and 203^rd in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Safest, scoring 15.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
