The Community of Azzata is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.778 billion Azzatans 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Batash-Timna. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Azzatan economy, worth 244 trillion minas 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 137,393 minas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, bins outnumber trees in city parks, refugees from other nations are flocking to Azzata's border, and the nation is known abroad mostly for its Parliamentary antics. Crime is totally unknown. Azzata's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Azzata is ranked 5,788^th in the world and 125^th in The Communist Bloc for Longest Average Lifespans, with 92.6 years.
