The Constitutional Monarchy of Free Azell is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Jeremy with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, prohibition of alcohol, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 11.685 billion Free Azellians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Albany. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Free Azellian economy, worth 915 trillion rupees a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,307 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Free Azellian doors require a Ph.D. to open, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", a small country is wondering where their capitol building's gold dome went, and class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Azell's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Free Azell is ranked 75,099^th in the world and 128^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Patriotic, with 18.65 flags saluted per person per day.
