The Republic of Azosd is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Quano Zalan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.096 billion Azosdians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Izova. The average income tax rate is 21.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azosdian economy, worth 529 trillion Kazoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 171,152 Kazoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Cops in Izova spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, Quano Zalan's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Azosd's national animal is the Zokor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Azosd is ranked 285,969^th in the world and 4,999^th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.52 kickbacks per hour.
