The Republic of Azosd is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Quano Zalan with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.136 billion Azosdians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Izova. The average income tax rate is 30.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azosdian economy, worth a remarkable 1,738 trillion Kazoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 213,690 Kazoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public buses smell like litter boxes, scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Azosd's national animal is the Zokor, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Azosd is ranked 4,524^th in the world and 116^th in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 95.2 on the Human Development Index.
