The Democratic Republic of Free Azrelia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Lux Snowfall with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.92 billion Azrelians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Concordia. The average income tax rate is 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azrelian economy, worth 675 trillion Azrelian Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 137,319 Azrelian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police ransack more houses than criminals do, troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean, the government snoops on private internet connections, and anyone with an emergency on a holy day is advised to pray harder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Azrelia's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Azrelian Paganism.

Free Azrelia is ranked 10,082^nd in the world and 379^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,484.04 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
