The State of Azor is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed population of 30.311 billion Azorians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Azorian economy, worth 921 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,398 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, Azor has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Azor in an international press conference. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azor's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Azor is ranked 123,355^th in the world and 1^st in Azor for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
