The Spurious Dictatorship of Azilam is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 21.188 billion Azilamians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qaqenek. The average income tax rate is 68.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Azilamian economy, worth a remarkable 2,006 trillion Eetes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 94,703 Eetes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, stuttering trypanophobes are doomed never to marry, and the government is under the thumb of countless special interests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azilam's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Azilam is ranked 281,555^th in the world and 4^th in Montrandecs Neighbours for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.09 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
