The Ordanic Kingdom of Azurth is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by His Eternal Majesty Aurex the Just with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, zero percent divorce rate, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.364 billion Azuri are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurelith. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Azuri economy, worth 436 trillion Veridians a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,462 Veridians, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 717,474 per year while the poor average 32,426, a ratio of 22.1 to 1.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, tourists call Azuri beach towns "the fine coastline", Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and membership in The Sacred Aurexian Mandate is mandatory and all other faith organisations are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azurth's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Sacred Aurexian Mandate.

Azurth is ranked 12,902nd in the world and 186th in the West Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 7,632.38 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
