The Theocracy of Azorius Bantus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Azor with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, devout population of 4.756 billion Azorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcades. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Azorius Bantusian economy, worth 631 trillion Gallions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 132,819 Gallions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, and blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azorius Bantus's national animal is the Sphinx, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Anglicanism.

Azorius Bantus is ranked 28,315^th in the world and 1,069^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 228.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
