The State of Gran Alba is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.237 billion Gran Albans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order and Defense also on the agenda, while Social Policy is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dominion Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.9%.

The very strong Gran Alban economy, worth 460 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 55,863 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Harry Potter books are banned, organ donation is compulsory, Gran Alba is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and Gran Alba has designated Dominion Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Gran Alba's national animal is the deer.

Gran Alba is ranked 140,057^th in the world and 1^st in al Qahirah for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
