The Protectorate of Azure-Guardian is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 321 million Azure-Guardians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Azra. The average income tax rate is 34.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Azure-Guardianian economy, worth 19.1 trillion Azure Golds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,604 Azure Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, doctors prescribe medicines produced by the last pharmaceutical company to give them a free pen, and the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer. Crime is totally unknown. Azure-Guardian's national animal is the Azure Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Azure-Guardian is ranked 207,653^rd in the world and 117^th in Africa for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.12 kickbacks per hour.
