The Commonwealth of Azureal is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 583 million Azurealians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Azurealian economy, worth 39.2 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 67,194 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, the nation sends criminals home to think about what they did, and Azureal successfully hosted the The East Pacific Olympics. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azureal's national animal is the European lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Azureal is ranked 175,509^th in the world and 3,130^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 80.54 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
