The Queendom of Nalbia is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 757 million Nalbians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nalbiana. The average income tax rate is 47.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Nalbian economy, worth 52.5 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,381 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Federal Council of Nalbia has been announced as the new Head of State, beggars lack pockets for spare change, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime is totally unknown. Nalbia's national animal is the butterfly, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Nalbia is ranked 49,358^th in the world and 2,707^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 72 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
