The State of Laurent Albert is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.635 billion Laurent Albertians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, although Industry is also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The thriving Laurent Albertian economy, worth a remarkable 1,248 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 40,754 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 193,368 per year while the poor average 5,069, a ratio of 38.1 to 1.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, Laurent Albert has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Laurent Albert in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Laurent Albert's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Laurent Albert is ranked 279,905^th in the world and 1^st in Casper for Highest Poor Incomes, with 5,069.01 Standard Monetary Units.
