The Grand Emirate of Albania The Glorious is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kastrioti IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, compulsory military service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.658 billion Albanians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tirana. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Albania The Gloriousian economy, worth 237 trillion Leks 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 143,505 Leks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, they say that Kastrioti IV's personal computer is full of naked pictures of the Emperor of Maxtopia, cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on Kastrioti IV's desk, and doctors will keep brain-dead coma patients ventilated for years in order to avoid accusations of allowing people to die. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Albania The Glorious's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Islam.

Albania The Glorious is ranked 235,753^rd in the world and 1,237^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 365.53 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
