The Republic of Azosd is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Quano Zalan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.86 billion Azosdians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Izova. The average income tax rate is 27.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azosdian economy, worth a remarkable 1,667 trillion Kazoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 212,197 Kazoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Selling advanced CPUs to anti-Azosdian terrorists is no chip on the government's shoulders, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Azosd's national animal is the Zokor, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Azosd is ranked 14,042^nd in the world and 295^th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 98 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
