-Alberto focuses on scientific advancement and high-end production as it main economic function. Funded by the United States and other grants, the people of Alberto work towards scientific advancement. They also work to produce high end, niche products that require the most complex of scientific processes to create, and these products are exported to the United States to generate funds for the state's government to be used for infrastructure, social programs, etc.
+Alberto focuses on scientific advancement as its main economic function. Alberto sells patents and niche, high-end products to countries and corporations as its primary source of income. Through initial funding from the United States government, Alberto was able to build the infrastructure of the society that it is now. Due to Alberto's output of invention and innovation, the state no longer relies on United States funding. The lives of those living in Alberto are supported by the scientific work that they pursue. Qualified scientists work for the society to create such exports, and a section of the population also works in other, non-scientific facets of the society—infrastructure, food, entertainment, etc. Non-scientific workers are often those in education.

 ===Currency===
-The currency in Alberto is very similar to the 21st century Boston described by Bellamy in Looking Backwards. Each citizen, when he or she finishes the required educational period, is given a credit card with a balance on it reflecting the nations output of the month split evenly through the population. This balance is replenished each month, and so the citizens can budget appropriately for the month. This money can be used to buy things that are not provided by the state such as clothing, entertainment, and etcetera. It can also be used to pay for the specialized education that some people choose to go into after their mandatory and free education has reached its end.

If a couple has children an addition to the monthly wages of the couple, spit evenly between them to accommodate divorce or separation, shall be given to cover the costs of the child. This amount fluctuates with the age of the child and is derived from statistical data that is analyzed to give the most logical amount for every stage of childhood and early adolescence.

 ===Public Safety===
-Safety is provided through the Alberto Town Sheriff's Office. The sheriff, appointed by the Mayor, is expected to employ one deputy for every 1,000 people, but must employ at least 4 deputies. The Sheriff's Office has the power to conduct investigations as it sees fit, although incidents on corporation property are to be handled by the corporation Security Office (SECO) unless wrongdoing is suspected as the primary cause of the incident. The Sheriff's Office works in conjunction with a Predictive Analytic Intelligence for Law (PAIL). PAIL helps the office identify possible incidents before they occur by using the newest techniques in behavioral analysis. Information for analysis is collected passively on all residents. Residents are required to waive their Fourth Amendment rights protecting against unreasonable search and seizure regarding PAIL information gathering in their residential contracts. Fire services are provided by the Emergency Services (ESERV) department of the corporation.

 ===Social Hierarchy and Social Philosophy===
-There is essentially no social Hierarchy in Alberto. Because the population is so small there isn't space for much devision and segregation between different kinds of people and because so many of Alberto's citizens share an interest in scientific innovation, there is little diversity at all. Most importantly, the equal division of fund to each citizen further uphold a classless standard for the society. Additionally, because public official positions are so impermanent and serve mostly as informers than decision makers or enforcers, citizens participating in government has little special treatment, socially. The citizens of Alberto have such a strong passion and genuine ambition for the scientific that there is little competition. An innovation is celebrated by all, not a call for boasting, competition or jealousy. The citizens are empowered and inspired but not driven by competition because at the end of the day everyone has the same amount of credit. Everyone is equal. However, Albertonians are quite driven as it is scientific innovation which allows them to continue to live and thrive in their utopia.

 ===Culture===
 Science and innovation play a large role in the culture of Alberto. The PSRC (public scientific research center) is a major cultural hub for the people of Alberto. The PSRC is a large building that has many lecture halls, labs, movie theaters and other facilities that are used for educational purposes. Free lectures, workshops and films are screened here in order to educate the people and are fundamental in the process of choosing a specialty for young adults. Here anyone is able to come and to hear leaders in any field speak, take introductory classes in engineering, biology, etc and explore their interests.There are also labs that one can rent, for a small fee, where they can work on things or do research. The young people, before they have to pick what they want to do, are able to explore these different fields, which helps them make a more informed decision. The center also holds events called "Galleries of Innovation" where inventors come and display their inventions. People are able to come to these galleries (similar to art galleries) and see how they work and ask the inventors questions. This is where a lot of people go to meet up with others and discuss their thoughts and ideas. The people of Alberto are interested in collaborating and working together to create, not competing with one another. This allows people to work together, without creating tension about who will get the credit for the invention or discovery, because to them, the product is what matters.

Depending on each individual's choice of occupation, the years of specialized education varies. The average number of specialized years is three. However, medical career, law careers, and teaching careers require more years of mastery. Each year of mastery is added to the individual's permanent record. Specialized education is not provided by the public. Citizens pay a small and affordable price for each year of specialized education. Jobs that require more years of training have shorter work hours than jobs that don't require specialized training.

 ==History==
-Alberto was established in 1950 as a government-sanctioned community within the United States dedicated towards scientific innovation. While the country was originally financially supported by the US, they eventually began to sell patents for the scientific ideas and inventions discovered there to other countries, as well. From this increase in revenue, Alberto was able to financially support itself and become independent. Now instead being geared towards just scientific advancement for America, the country designs ideas for scientific innovation and sells patents for them worldwide to whichever countries would like to buy them.
