The Kingdom of Azuros is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Peter with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.989 billion Azurosians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minava. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Azurosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,470 trillion Taels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 245,450 Taels, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Government spending has hit an all-time low, young people avoid opening doors for the elderly with impunity, on-duty Air Azuros flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, and the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azuros's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Order of Azure.

Azuros is ranked 187,720^th in the world and 4^th in Nations of Will for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 172.15 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
