The Gold Zombie Republic of Azar is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President M Pakka with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.08 billion Azarians 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Otorio. The average income tax rate is 28.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azarish economy, worth 114 trillion Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 105,947 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Maxtopian Grass flags adorn every college dorm room, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, a flying elephant and President M Pakka share the same nickname, and a milk bath costs more than bathing in money. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azar's national animal is the Leprechaun and its national religion is Christianity.

Azar is ranked 101,410^th in the world and 817^th in the West Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,795.3 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
