The Republic of Azosd is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Quano Zalan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.068 billion Azosdians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Izova. The average income tax rate is 21.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azosdian economy, worth 525 trillion Kazoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 171,147 Kazoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Conspiracy theorists allege Izova's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Kazo treacle machine, and the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Azosd's national animal is the Zokor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Azosd is ranked 38,547^th in the world and 784^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,360.41 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
