The United Clans of Azgoghk is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by the Big Warlock with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.039 billion Azgoghkians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crackclaw. The average income tax rate is 8.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Azgoghkian economy, worth a remarkable 5,034 trillion sunstones a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 218,520 sunstones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, national robo-pastors have declared 42 to be the answer to all our woes, the prisoners of Azkatraz have a new emperor, and Azgoghkian companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Azgoghk's national animal is the snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Azgoghk is ranked 331,320th in the world and 240th in Fifth Empire for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -24.49 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
