The Queendom of Azflebrigan is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Queen Evangeline McBean with an even hand, and renowned for its closed borders, rum-swilling pirates, and lack of airports. The compassionate, humorless population of 5.875 billion Azflebriganians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zefro. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azflebriganian economy, worth 671 trillion Floogles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 114,290 Floogles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, a stitch in time could see you serving nine, children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azflebrigan's national animal is the Golden Hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cheeses of Nazareth.

Azflebrigan is ranked 275,372nd in the world and 290th in Conch Kingdom for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.9 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
