The AzurKommissarriat of New Iwate is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 782 million Azurnailians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Casablanka. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong New Iwatean economy, worth 61.4 trillion Azurnailian yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 78,462 Azurnailian yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, local government operates tolls on every village road, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Iwate's national animal is the Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

New Iwate is ranked 258,652nd in the world and 7th in The Democratic Assembly for Most Beautiful Environments, with 259.55 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
