The Federation of Azell V is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed population of 3.609 billion Azell Vians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Administration, with Welfare, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 21.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Azell Vian economy, worth 210 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 58,247 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The default state for Azell V is default, the stock market has been destroyed for its own protection, being nicknamed "Orange Face" has done Leader's credibility no favours, and politicians' financial records are locked up tighter than the nation's guilder reserves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Azell V's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Azell V is ranked 157,787^th in the world and 6^th in Autropolis for Safest, scoring 58.64 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
