The Federal Union of Almorea is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Alasdair Hallowell with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and daily referendums. The democratic, devout population of 3.417 billion Almoreans 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.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ellsburgh. The average income tax rate is 66.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Almorean economy, worth 325 trillion Almorean dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,315 Almorean dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, a third of Almoreans are e-certified CEOs, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Almorea's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ecclesiastic Act Christianity.

Almorea is ranked 109,435^th in the world and 95^th in The Western Isles for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 550.61 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
