The Aqours subunit of AZALEA- is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Dia Kurosawa with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.739 billion AZALEA-ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Numazu. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient AZALEA-ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,177 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 152,117 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Intoxicated AI mobile platforms are sometimes seen crashing through windows instead of being crashed by them, recognizing the AZALEA-ian flag qualifies you for citizenship, signs stating "You Must be This Tall to Enter" have started appearing outside retirement homes, and ten-year-olds are applying for lemonade stand operator licences. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AZALEA-'s national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

AZALEA- is ranked 8,681^st in the world and 1^st in The South Pacific WA Voting Center for Nicest Citizens, with 34.42 average smiles per day.
