The Federative State of Azekhep is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Albert Jers with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, enslaved workforce, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.746 billion Azekhepians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Azekh. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Azekhepian economy, worth 487 trillion Comivores a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 177,497 Comivores, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 606,876 per year while the poor average 38,168, a ratio of 15.9 to 1.

It is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, Jennifer Government is banned, and curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azekhep's national animal is the The American Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is D.

Azekhep is ranked 288,325^th in the world and 10,811^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 40 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
