The Nostalgic Halcyon of Azure Mines is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Berezaa with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate population of 4.029 billion Azurians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital City City. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Azure Mines economy, worth 517 trillion Ambrosias 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 128,468 Ambrosias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Claims of miracles are met with calls to eradicate religion as superstitious nonsense, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, and explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azure Mines's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orifism.

Azure Mines is ranked 150,231st in the world and 166th in Forest for Most Extreme, scoring 18.88 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
