The United Republic of Gradivus Albiorix is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Albiorix Mars with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, devout population of 3.411 billion Albiorixians 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 Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nusantara. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gradivus Albiorixian economy, worth 439 trillion Eddies a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 128,958 Eddies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, Nusantara's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", and the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gradivus Albiorix's national animal is the Aquila, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Omnism.

Gradivus Albiorix is ranked 86,755^th in the world and 1,618^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,947.13 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
