The Sovereign Isles of Neo Azuria is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sovereign Azure with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.373 billion Azurians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skyloch. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Azurian economy, worth 124 trillion lazulis a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,708 lazulis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo Azuria's national animal is the narwhal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Neo Azuria is ranked 227,261^st in the world and 1^st in The United Order of Sillies for Largest Populations, with 1.37 billion capita.
