The Gorgeous Fires of Azatara is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Alexander I with an iron fist, and notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.012 billion Azatarans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Breakwater. The average income tax rate is 29.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Azataran economy, worth 40.4 trillion golden marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,966 golden marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Azataran novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Emperor Alexander I, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, and Emperor Alexander I has just been declared ruler of Azatara in an international press conference. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azatara's national animal is the Azataran parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Azatara is ranked 70,763rd in the world and 1st in Aspenia for Most Income Equality, scoring 51.16 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
