The Jurisdiction of Azteca Helvetica is a gargantuan, devout nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 13.64 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of My House. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling industries.

All streets are privately owned toll roads, penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative', Leader has just been declared ruler of Azteca Helvetica in an international press conference, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime is moderate. Azteca Helvetica's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Pacific Gold Standard.

Azteca Helvetica is ranked 3rd in Atlantic and 10,941st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
