The Federation of Azachron is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lefrezor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.048 billion Azachrons 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palanthas. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Azachronian economy, worth a remarkable 1,371 trillion Кредитыs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 338,867 Кредитыs, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap, truancy officers have a hard time catching children trained in advanced camouflage skills, Azachronian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azachron's national animal is the Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of the Abyss.

Azachron is ranked 69,516th in the world and 1,013th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 675.03254020112 days.
