The Federal Republic of North Alburny Kin is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 385 million North Alburny Kinians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 39.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient North Alburny Kinian economy, worth 19.0 trillion Federal Notes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,454 Federal Notes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Government ministers claim to ride dragons to work, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, it's illegal to be caught on tape, and students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Alburny Kin's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

North Alburny Kin is ranked 114,640^th in the world and 1^st in Ruul for Most Patriotic, with 14.9 flags saluted per person per day.
