The Ordanic Kingdom of Azurth is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by His Eternal Majesty Aurex the Just with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.307 billion Azuri are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

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 90.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Azuri economy, worth 417 trillion Veridians a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,030 Veridians, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 694,701 per year while the poor average 32,523, a ratio of 21.4 to 1.

Minority children find the right answer in school tests is always the most insulting one, contestants on Azurth's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, the military's primary weapons are fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and a fanatical devotion to The Sacred Aurexian Mandate, and ghost regiments exist only on paper. 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 263,563^rd in the world and 2,510^th in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 61 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
