The Queendom of Azflebrigan is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Queen Evangeline McBean with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 5.958 billion Azflebriganians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zefro. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azflebriganian economy, worth 658 trillion Floogles 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. 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 impressive 110,555 Floogles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Socialism gives everyone a share of the economy's growing carbon footprint, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, film studios own the rights to actors' likenesses until the next millennium, and exports of chewing gum are inexplicably falling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azflebrigan's national animal is the Golden Hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cheeses of Nazareth.

Azflebrigan is ranked 133,683rd in the world and 237th in Conch Kingdom for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 71.92 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
