The Republic of Sor-Azalea is a fledgling, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 6 million Sor-Azaleans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Sor-Azalean economy, worth 43.5 billion florins 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 Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 7,248 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sor-Azalea's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Sor-Azalea is ranked 221,264^th in the world and 763^rd in Carcassonne for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 249.1 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
