The Sacred Land of AzureBeach is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Cait Sith with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.281 billion fish 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo-Venezia. The average income tax rate is 46.1%.

The strong AzureBeachian economy, worth 139 trillion pearls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,932 pearls, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, beggars lack pockets for spare change, and elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AzureBeach's national animal is the whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Iyashikei.

AzureBeach is ranked 250,340^th in the world and 223^rd in The Sacred Elite for Rudest Citizens, with 26.89 insults per minute.
