The Democratic People's Republic of Aztaria is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Eternal President with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.836 billion Aztars are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Polkesh. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Aztar economy, worth a remarkable 1,469 trillion Aztar Won 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an amazing 303,828 Aztar Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every worker receives exactly the same pay regardless of productivity, The Eternal President is in a committed monogamous relationship with a huge number of people, hammer and sickle-wielding space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, and afternoon delight in care homes is restricted to a serving of spotted dick at 3pm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aztaria's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Socialism.

Aztaria is ranked 269,250^th in the world and 8^th in Ashes of LPH for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.29 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
