The People's Republic of Ponta Azul is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 678 million Ponta Azulians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cabo Tropical. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ponta Azulian economy, worth 79.3 trillion Azulinos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 117,024 Azulinos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', and terrorists are on a first name basis with the officials that stamp their passports. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ponta Azul's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ponta Azul is ranked 16,645^th in the world and 345^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.84 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
