The Republic of Azure Corall is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 779 million Lemurians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlanta Lemuria. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Azure Corallian economy, worth 69.7 trillion pounds 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 Retail, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 89,460 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, the parliament building has installed a revolving door, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, and the prevalence of circular logic frequently renders parliamentary observers dizzy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azure Corall's national animal is the Sea Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Azure Corall is ranked 215,717^th in the world and 9,283^rd in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 779 million capita.
