During the "Communism Era" this time period, the country was ruled mainly by Enver Hoxha and the Party of Labour of Albania. They ruled Albania by establishing a Stalinist, and later Hoxhaist, style of state administration and adhering to policies that stressed national unity and self-reliance. Described by scholars as a totalitarian state, travel and visa restrictions made Albania one of the most difficult countries to visit or travel from. Being Europe's only Muslim-majority country, it declared itself the world's first atheist state in 1967. The People's Socialist Republic of Albania (Albanian: Republika Popullore Socialiste e Shqipërisë), officially the People's Republic of Albania from 1946 until 1976, was the one-party communist state in Albania from 1946 to 1991.
