The Allied States of Azaleastan is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 32 million Azaleastanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Azaleastanian economy, worth 1.24 trillion Azaleams a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,893 Azaleams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surveillance cameras are banned, organ donation is compulsory, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and genetic researchers have been expelled. Crime is totally unknown. Azaleastan's national animal is the Rakali, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Azaleastan is ranked 136,002^nd in the world and 2,443^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 701.64 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
