The Incorporated States of Azeal is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, rampant corporate plagiarism, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 886 million Azealians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erinn. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Azealian economy, worth 75.9 trillion Bullets 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. Average income is 85,653 Bullets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation, children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, and court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azeal's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Azeal is ranked 34,757^th in the world and 22^nd in Hell for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
