The Imperial Republic of Albasaary is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor James I with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.054 billion Saarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brembourg. The average income tax rate is 17.3%.

The strong Albasaaryian economy, worth 85.8 trillion Ruels 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Book Publishing. 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 81,377 Ruels, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

The countryside smells faintly of barbecue, childish pranks are no laughing matter, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, and many believe that Emperor James I's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Albasaary's national animal is the Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Saarist Lutheran Division.

Albasaary is ranked 151,924^th in the world and 8,404^th in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 951.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
