The Republic of Aztland is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Calderon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7.98 billion Aztizos 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anahuac. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Aztizo economy, worth 326 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 40,956 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, and politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aztland's national animal is the Condor, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Aztland is ranked 284,226^th in the world and 263^rd in The Union of Democratic States for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.58 kickbacks per hour.
