The Gold Zombie Republic of Azar is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by President M Pakka with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 918 million 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 government prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Otorio. The average income tax rate is 28.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Azarish economy, worth 89.8 trillion Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 97,783 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

For just a few extra Gold Bars Azarians can get new driving records with their new cars, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, and the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place. 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 Leprechaun.

Azar is ranked 143,412^th in the world and 1,240^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 616.49 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
