The Republic of Azzurria is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.68 billion Azzurrians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Azzurra. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azzurrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,775 trillion Pounds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,255 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, terrorism and assassination are tried-and-true methods of political activism, and craps take up a lot of time. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azzurria's national animal is the Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Azzurria is ranked 18,531^st in the world and 2^nd in The Confederation of Free States for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,348.61 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
