The Independent Republic of Alabrya is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Kennet Quito with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working population of 972 million Alabryans 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, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darat. The average income tax rate is 51.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Alabryan economy, worth 63.2 trillion Irinas a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,064 Irinas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, policy reversals are more often graceful demi-détournés than u-turns, baiting is a national sport, and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alabrya's national animal is the Piranha.

Alabrya is ranked 265,877^th in the world and 3^rd in Borrano for Smartest Citizens, with 19.83 quips per hour.
