The Holy Gold Nation of Allmo is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President Donald Tyrrell with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 18.689 billion Albemoans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Betland. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Albemoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,469 trillion Gold Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 78,617 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks, the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events, glossy adverts featuring baby's first puff adorn mothers' magazines, and practically perfect royal toddlers tend to say "regrettably not at this juncture" rather than "no". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Allmo's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Allmo is ranked 148,239th in the world and 1st in Auroran for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,047.93 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
