The Republic of Azmakien is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Jossin Gotier with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.078 billion Azmakienians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amaro. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Azmakienian economy, worth 231 trillion Keiniches a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,256 Keiniches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage, Big Brother is still watching even when your big brother is dead, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, and the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azmakien's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Azmakien is ranked 207,973^rd in the world and 534^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
