The Haunted Lands of Azo-Tarr is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Veronica Torchlight with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 12.725 billion Azo-Tarrites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Social Policy, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blackwood. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Azo-Tarrite economy, worth a remarkable 3,076 trillion cursed amulets a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 241,799 cursed amulets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Only the richest get to see out of their windows, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, and referenda are held for every conceivable government action. Crime is totally unknown. Azo-Tarr's national animal is the ghost raptor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Secret Church.
Azo-Tarr is ranked 95,253rd in the world and 1,016th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 475.0227515408 days.
