The Commonwealth of Azure Spectre Federation is a very large, safe nation, notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 383 million Azureans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kronsburg. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Azure Spectre Federationian economy, worth 32.1 trillion Azure Marks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,834 Azure Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, a punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, and Azure Spectre Federationian doors require a Ph.D. to open. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azure Spectre Federation's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Azure Spectre Federation is ranked 281,212^th in the world and 202^nd in Horizon for Largest Populations, with 383 million capita.
