The Celtic Republic of Albaaa is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Sean McDonald with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 8.156 billion Celtics 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 44.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Albaaan economy, worth 536 trillion punts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,798 punts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Sushi just hasn't been the same since salmon went extinct overnight, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and the nation's weary schoolchildren excel at sport but must count scores on their fingers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Albaaa's national animal is the turkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Albaaa is ranked 234,247^th in the world and 4^th in New Rp for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.88 kickbacks per hour.
