The Armed Republic of Azerrat is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.657 billion Azerratians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moria. The average income tax rate is 91.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Azerratian economy, worth 362 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 218,957 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Mechanics are often exhausted by their work, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azerrat's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Azerrat is ranked 99,208^th in the world and 1,292^nd in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,101.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
