The Republic of The 7th Coalition of Alba is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by His Most Extreme Excellency Duncan with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 2.098 billion 7th Coalition of Albans 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, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strathclyde. The average income tax rate is 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming 7th Coalition of Alba economy, worth 229 trillion Cubits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,502 Cubits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laws are littered with references to cheese, the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 7th Coalition of Alba's national animal is the Sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The 7th Coalition of Alba is ranked 60,680^th in the world and 2,880^th in The East Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 55.66 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
