The Federation of Gran Azuria is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Big Paul with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 2.189 billion Gran Azurians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fängenheim. The average income tax rate is 57.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gran Azurian economy, worth 303 trillion Azure Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 138,808 Azure Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, revolutionaries only deal in CyanCatCoin, and kids learn to count without the numbers '0' or '1'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gran Azuria's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gran Azuria is ranked 198,241^st in the world and 74^th in Nordic Lands for Largest Populations, with 2.19 billion capita.
