The Federation of Azalean Kingdoms is a tiny, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 7 million Azalean Kingdomsians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Azalean Kingdomsian economy, worth 45.3 billion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 6,476 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azalean Kingdoms's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Azalean Kingdoms is ranked 250,793^rd in the world and 870^th in Carcassonne for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 25.3 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
