The Grand Emirate of Albania The Glorious is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Kastrioti IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.651 billion Albanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tirana. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Albania The Gloriousian economy, worth 234 trillion Leks 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 142,143 Leks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, programmers often reinvent the wheel, and heretic deviants are free to practice their deviance outside of Albania The Glorious. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Albania The Glorious's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Islam.

Albania The Glorious is ranked 33,486^th in the world and 455^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,943.99 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
