The Dominion of Azteca Nova is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.086 billion Azteca 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.2%.

The sizeable but inefficient Aztecan economy, worth 52.2 trillion New Quachtlis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 48,045 New Quachtlis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 149,102 per year while the poor average 11,917, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.

Engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, tax avoidance is a serious affair, and there's a bright dawn ahead for Azteca Nova. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azteca Nova's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Azteca Nova is ranked 117,718^th in the world and 2,216^th in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,011.09 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
