The Federation of Azachron is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lefrezor with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, zero percent divorce rate, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.16 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, 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 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Azachronian economy, worth a remarkable 1,432 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 344,265 Кредитыs, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Libraries are refusing to stock A Midsummer Night's Dream because it has an ass in it, students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. 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 292,546^th in the world and 7,201^st in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 0.14 average smiles per day.
