The Free Corporation of Azklabau is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President-Director Henry Arnold with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 3.315 billion Azklabans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Administration and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ameslari. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Azklaban economy, worth 692 trillion A$ Azklan Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 208,824 A$ Azklan Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,175,957 per year while the poor average 18,285, a ratio of 64.3 to 1.

Elite teams of assassins have been sent into Brasilistan, 'Coloniser-in-Chief' has become President-Director Henry Arnold's new moniker, the nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque, and "To Hell or to Marshland" is a common settler cry directed at native Brasilistanis. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Azklabau's national animal is the Muntjac, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Jakinduria Askatua.

Azklabau is ranked 305,036^th in the world and 47^th in Philosophers for Most Cultured, scoring 35 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
