The United Socialist States of Azjibera is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Valence with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.873 billion Azjiberans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kohirin. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Azjiberan economy, worth 97.7 trillion bahrins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 52,174 bahrins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Kohirin Times is sold out, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, and all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azjibera's national animal is the Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Azjibera is ranked 294,695^th in the world and 1,203^rd in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Black Market, with 29.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
