The Republic of Albionum is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Alexandra Doris Johnson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 29.092 billion Albions 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 government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Londinium. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Albionumian economy, worth a remarkable 5,684 trillion pound sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 195,391 pound sterlings, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, the state is footing the bill for billionaires' lawyers, and students learn how to disarm mines before understanding basic arithmetic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Albionum's national animal is the lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Albionum is ranked 8,136th in the world and 22nd in United Kingdom for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 92,224.64 Standard Monetary Units.
