The Gold Zombie Republic of Azar is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President M Pakka with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.036 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 27.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azarish economy, worth 109 trillion Gold Bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 105,712 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, unemployed youngsters trained to kill are being released en masse into society, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, and government officials go door-to-door educating about the dangers of pseudoscience. 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, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Azar is ranked 130,549^th in the world and 1,045^th in the West Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 575.81 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
