The Nikhilarian Republic of Azar is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President M Pakka with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.185 billion Azarians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Otorio. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azarish economy, worth 130 trillion Azar Yips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 109,879 Azar Yips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The country routinely whitewashes uncomfortable parts of its history, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, and the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azar's national animal is the West Pacific Dolphin and its national religion is Christianity.

Azar is ranked 37,307^th in the world and 168^th in the West Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 81.05 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
