The Federation of Azrabalga is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 196 million Azrabalgans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Azrabalgan economy, worth 9.20 trillion Menzos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 46,938 Menzos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, and Azrabalgan soldiers are assured their new ray-guns will finally power up after the next round of ominous chanting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azrabalga's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Azrabalga is ranked 73,225^th in the world and 51^st in Byzantion for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 412.9 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
