The Community of Azzata is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.126 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 prioritizes Education, with Administration, Welfare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Batash-Timna. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azzatan economy, worth 123 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 Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 110,065 minas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It turns out that trees grow on minas, art is not complete without a touch of alizarin blood and titanium sweat, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, and town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azzata's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Azzata is ranked 301,228^th in the world and 609^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -7.07 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
