The Dominion of Albend is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its national health service, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 577 million Albanians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Albendopolis. The average income tax rate is 46.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Albanian economy, worth 52.8 trillion harps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,449 harps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, government opponents tend to have their patents rejected immediately, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, and undergrads find their professors' mushroom experiments less psychedelic than expected. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Albend's national animal is the pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Albend is ranked 173,256^th in the world and 3,277^th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 191.65 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
