The Ordanic Kingdom of Azurth is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by His Eternal Majesty Aurex the Just with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.441 billion Azuri 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurelith. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Azuri economy, worth 463 trillion Veridians a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 189,735 Veridians, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 692,362 per year while the poor average 36,919, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, and Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azurth's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Sacred Aurexian Mandate.

Azurth is ranked 13,751^st in the world and 225^th in the West Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,365.88 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
