The Theocracy of Azorius Bantus is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Azor with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 6.314 billion Azorians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcades. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Azorius Bantusian economy, worth 862 trillion Gallions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 136,572 Gallions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, tough diplomacy is often best handled with a nutcracker, young people avoid opening doors for the elderly with impunity, and state officials tend to disappear after they forget to salute Azor's portrait. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azorius Bantus's national animal is the Sphinx, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Anglicanism.

Azorius Bantus is ranked 3,048th in the world and 137th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 97.87 Effective Tax Rate.
