The Allied States of Azaleastan is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 90 million Azaleastanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Azaleastanian economy, worth 3.50 trillion Azaleams a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,931 Azaleams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, and nations that kill an Azaleastanian can expect a strongly worded letter. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azaleastan's national animal is the Rakali, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Azaleastan is ranked 100,172^nd in the world and 2,509^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
