The State of Azores Group is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 32.024 billion Azores Groupians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The very strong Azores Groupian economy, worth a remarkable 1,612 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 50,356 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 342,363 per year while the poor average 2,705, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The government is avowedly atheist, voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, and Azores Group has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Azores Group's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Azores Group is ranked 240,709^th in the world and 1^st in Azores for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 40.78 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
