The Great Empire of North Azarath is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Gabriel I of St Paul with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.465 billion North Azarathians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trigon City. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient North Azarathian economy, worth a remarkable 3,326 trillion Azarathian Ravens a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 392,960 Azarathian Ravens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,133,148 per year while the poor average 108,178, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, and tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Azarath's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catolicism.

North Azarath is ranked 968^th in the world and 26^th in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 40,079 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
