The Commonwealth of Azmara is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Thingspeaker Freidrik Aleksaanderssun with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.497 billion Azmarans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aalmsted. The average income tax rate is 44.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Azmaran economy, worth 773 trillion Eucloes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,387 Eucloes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, employers are keenest on employees who lack family values, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", and military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies. Crime is totally unknown. Azmara's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Azmara is ranked 113,174^th in the world and 25^th in Kylaris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,094.41 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
