The Commonwealth of Albion is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by First Minister Edward Stark with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.498 billion Albishmen are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Londerholm. The average income tax rate is 46.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Albish economy, worth 190 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 54,490 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, the nation is wading into dangerous waters, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, and captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Albion's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is New Avalon Catholic Church.

Albion is ranked 166,173rd in the world and 90th in England for Most Stationary, with 114.0443020116 days.
