The Republic of Azul States is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Azul with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 8.921 billion Azulians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Defense is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Azulia. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Azulian economy, worth 585 trillion Sliding Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 65,628 Sliding Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Queen Azul is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, politicians have seen a significant reduction in followers on their social media accounts, and the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azul States's national animal is the Abalone, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Azulian Order.

Azul States is ranked 111,693^rd in the world and 10^th in The Slide Countries for Highest Average Incomes, with 65,628.2 Standard Monetary Units.
