The Republic of Albinya is a tiny, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 7 million Albinyans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 17.6%.

The Albinyan economy, worth 339 billion katzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 48,455 katzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, they say that Albinyans made a dessert and called it peace, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown. Albinya's national animal is the Soft-pawed cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Albinya is ranked 139,510^th in the world and 377^th in Talonia for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,922.99 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
