The Peoples Socialist Republic of Azarackia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Bob Amoungus with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.578 billion Azarackians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Axolotl City. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Azarackian economy, worth 123 trillion Pound sterlings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 48,013 Pound sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, jury selection begins with explaining what a jury is, the price of freedom is about half a million Pound sterlings, and the Azarackia Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azarackia's national animal is the axolotol, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Azarackia is ranked 12,618^th in the world and 394^th in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 118.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
