The Empire of Azure Harbor is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 207 million Azure Harborians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 8.2%.

The Azure Harborian economy, worth 11.8 trillion waves a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 56,783 waves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, all guns must be registered, and Leader can cry on demand. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Azure Harbor's national animal is the trout, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Azure Harbor is ranked 236,609^th in the world and 7^th in The United Colonies of Blue Harbor for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -1.67 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
