The Holy Dynasty of Azuros is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by King Peter with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.702 billion Azurosians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minava. The average income tax rate is 49.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Azurosian economy, worth 517 trillion Taels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 191,614 Taels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, and extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azuros's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Order of Azure.

Azuros is ranked 159,900^th in the world and 27^th in The Amaranthine Isles for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,280.02 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
