The Socialist Federal Republic of Albarusija is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Marshal Aaryan Varec' with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, soft-spoken computers, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 30.729 billion albarusijans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velikij Albagrad. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Albarusijan economy, worth an astonishing 17,392 trillion Dinars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 a breathtaking 566,004 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, getting caught with the wrong recipe book can get you locked up for 100 - 500 megaseconds, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, and foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Albarusija's national animal is the Brown Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Albarusija is ranked 278,223^rd in the world and 21^st in ITALIA for Safest, scoring 6.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
