The Junta of Azropa is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Gabriel Krasny with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.147 billion Azropeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Azropean economy, worth 206 trillion PLNS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is 96,394 PLNS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Alleyways are now mostly used for illegal drug deals rather than illegal surgical procedures, representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azropa's national animal is the Seagull, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is National Atheism.

Azropa is ranked 272,146^th in the world and 1,018^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Black Market, with 93.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
