The Holy land of Azekstan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Henry of new hope with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 2.682 billion Azekstanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 85.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Azekstanian economy, worth 268 trillion Xenoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,044 Xenoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, spotted owl meat is used as bait to lure wolves into traps, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", and Bambi has been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azekstan's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox.

Azekstan is ranked 12,417^th in the world and 7^th in Der Leibwache for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 85.69 Effective Tax Rate.
