The Federal Republic of Azassas is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Noa Snatzel with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 6.409 billion Azassasians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Agla. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azassasian economy, worth a remarkable 3,584 trillion Azes a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 559,291 Azes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, cremation is compulsory for the deceased, schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, and abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Azassas's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Azassas is ranked 323,646^th in the world and 5,594^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 32.53 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
