The People's Democatic Republic of Azbakhistan is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, enslaved workforce, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 8.87 billion Azbakhistanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Public Transport receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Esfandar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Azbakhistanian economy, worth 965 trillion Rials a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,826 Rials, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 978,045 per year while the poor average 1,523, a ratio of 642 to 1.

Shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', teenagers stay out into the wee hours of the morning "stargazing", and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Azbakhistan's national animal is the Azbakh Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Islam.

Azbakhistan is ranked 295,844^th in the world and 11,610^th in Balder for Highest Poor Incomes, with 1,523.06 Standard Monetary Units.
