The Red Heart of Albrook is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ill'haress Aurora Yukihime with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The cheerful, devout population of 25.702 billion Albrookians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illuminé. The average income tax rate is 61.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Albrookian economy, worth a remarkable 1,973 trillion Brozoufs a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,789 Brozoufs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, feeling like a winner comes at a price, party affiliation is just as irrelevant as campaign promises, and skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy.

Albrook's national animal is the Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Phys.

Albrook is ranked 301,933^rd in the world and 4,960^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 101.09 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
