The Armed Republic of Azerrat is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.737 billion Azerratians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moria. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azerratian economy, worth 383 trillion dollars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 220,632 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, birth rates have hit an all-time low, and airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azerrat's national animal is the Apatosaurus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Azerrat is ranked 19,562^nd in the world and 116^th in the South Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 175 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
