The Technocracy of Al Bhed is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Vypnelydun-Kahanym Keyakku with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 8.015 billion Al Bhedians 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 tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rusa. The average income tax rate is 8.5%.

The Al Bhedian economy, worth 486 trillion gils a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Average income is 60,674 gils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, prank shows are so hot right now, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and saying "don't do anything that Vypnelydun-Kahanym Keyakku wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Al Bhed's national animal is the machina, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is dalrhumuko.

Al Bhed is ranked 261,690^th in the world and 2^nd in Spira for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 735.82 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
