The Nomadic Peoples of Azellville is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.283 billion Azellvilleans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Azellvillean economy, worth 38.7 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 30,194 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, military spending recently hit a new high, and Azellville City has become the number one destination for urban exploration in Lazarus. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azellville's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Azellville is ranked 187,749th in the world and 8,567th in Lazarus for Most Pacifist, with 54.62 cheeks turned per day.
