The Province of Albay is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Joey Salceda with a fair hand, and notable for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.214 billion Albayanos enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Legazpi City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.6%.

The very strong Albayano economy, worth a remarkable 1,117 trillion pesos a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 48,122 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 147,003 per year while the poor average 12,210, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Education and welfare spending are on the rise, Albay has designated Legazpi City as its capital city, Joey Salceda has just been declared ruler of Albay in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Albay's national religion. Crime is moderate. Albay's national animal is the lion and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Albay is ranked 90,555^th in the world and 5^th in Cities for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,044.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
