The Borderlands of Azyque is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Pookie with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 2.768 billion Aziques are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Temukras. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Azyquese economy, worth 175 trillion Yingles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,392 Yingles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, hospitals scramble for new disinfectants following a ban on rubbing alcohol, and the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azyque's national animal is the Kookaburra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Azyque is ranked 279,533^rd in the world and 5,078^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.54 flags saluted per person per day.
