The Commonwealth of Azure Spectre Federation is a very large, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 350 million Azureans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kronsburg. The average income tax rate is 53.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Azure Spectre Federationian economy, worth 29.8 trillion Azure Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 85,109 Azure Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments, politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azure Spectre Federation's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Azure Spectre Federation is ranked 194,383^rd in the world and 547^th in Horizon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.79 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
