The Gatcha of Azur 1ane is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, fear of technology, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.242 billion Azur 1aneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Social Policy. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.1%.

The very strong Azur 1anean economy, worth 119 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,099 deniers, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, the skeletons of lost tourists litter the ground of the Great Azur 1anean Desert, thrift shops are closing their doors, and sushi is sold on the black market. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Azur 1ane's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Azur 1ane is ranked 75,316^th in the world and 369^th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring zero on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
