The Constitutional Monarchy of Azharian is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Christopher II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.195 billion Azharianians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Azhaburg. The average income tax rate is 77.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Azharianian economy, worth 488 trillion Guldens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,781 Guldens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Rude retail employees are now even ruder homeless panhandlers, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Azharianian mussels the biggest in Liberal Democratic Union, and school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel. Crime is totally unknown. Azharian's national animal is the White Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Azharian is ranked 158,214th in the world and 52nd in Liberal Democratic Union for Most Stationary, with 130.420749864 days.
