The Federation of Azgatan is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Grand General Arda Tama with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 5.94 billion Azgatanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, although Education, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Knigpas. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Azgatanian economy, worth 221 trillion Denar Golds a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,311 Denar Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, graffiti graces every city's streets, a bureaucratic fight over AIA cafeteria food expenditures has caused the temporary suspension of all agency counterintelligence operations, and Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azgatan's national animal is the Azgatanian Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sunni.

Azgatan is ranked 254,765^th in the world and 4,341^st in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.13 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
