The Kingdom of Aldabarra is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Alfonso Toras with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 1.2 billion Aldabarrans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Lachaven. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aldabarran economy, worth 142 trillion Alds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 118,792 Alds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, the highest sporting award is the Grail of Tears, and thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aldabarra's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aldabarra is ranked 298,051^st in the world and 4,390^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -11.57 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
