The Dictatorship of Azealand Isle is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Azizul with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 4.344 billion Azealand Islanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Azealand Dungeon. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Azealand Islean economy, worth 579 trillion Azealand Dollars 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 led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 133,305 Azealand Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights, board shorts have replaced board rooms, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, and the police go to great efforts to seize contraband favored by politicians on the police oversight committee. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azealand Isle's national animal is the Saltwater crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Sobekism.

Azealand Isle is ranked 260,393^rd in the world and 4,546^th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 42.61 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
