The Gold Zombie Republic of Azar is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 636 million Azarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized 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 26.5%.

The powerhouse Azarish economy, worth 51.2 trillion Azar Yips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,494 Azar Yips, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units, the government prefers to kill off its enemies by peaceful means, people who eat pizza with lactase supplements are arrested by the flavour police, and the government encourages conflict abroad to increase arms sales. 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 Pigmy Pacific Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Azar is ranked 47,122^nd in the world and 491^st in the West Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 706.96 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
