The Technocracy States of Azzarel is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Shepherd with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, free-roaming dinosaurs, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.957 billion Azzas are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Airstrip One. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Azza economy, worth a remarkable 4,214 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 301,942 credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,358,739 per year while the poor average 41,393, a ratio of 32.8 to 1.

Graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors, creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, and spies caught in Azzarel are never heard from again. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azzarel's national animal is the Meerkat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Azzarel is ranked 8,708th in the world and 394th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 126 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
