The Empire of Azaman is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alexander Xavier with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 6.974 billion Azaman are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rose City. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azaman economy, worth a remarkable 1,253 trillion Galactic Credit Standards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 179,727 Galactic Credit Standards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, beatboxing has replaced the 'Wilhelm scream' as the nation's most popular sound effect, polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, and the government spends billions to protect Azaman from a disaster that is one in a million. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azaman's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Force.

Azaman is ranked 66,988th in the world and 179th in Conch Kingdom for Safest, scoring 96.54 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
