The United States of Azstaria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Emperor with an iron fist, and notable for its vat-grown people, public floggings, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.534 billion Azstarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astartes. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Azstarian economy, worth a remarkable 7,260 trillion Marbles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 689,280 Marbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The Azstaria Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, hazmat suits are a common Azstarian garb, Azstarians visiting rural Southern Lion And Eagle Village can get their driving records clean for a small fee, and it is illegal to carry an umbrella when the official weather forecast predicts a sunny day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azstaria's national animal is the Lion and Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Imperial Cult.
Azstaria is ranked 15,122nd in the world and 192nd in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,770.79099863748 days.
