The Republic of A z a n i a is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Kwezi Dlathu with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.857 billion Azanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pretoria. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,590 trillion Rand a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 161,369 Rand, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, the nation's smallest Springbokball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch, and the army consists of only generals and grunts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A z a n i a's national animal is the Springbok, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

A z a n i a is ranked 132,678th in the world and 2,757th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 242.50285174252 days.
