The Nostalgic Halcyon of Azure Mines is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Berezaa with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, infamous sell-swords, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 4.017 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 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Azure Mines economy, worth 512 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 127,661 Ambrosias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, Berezaa can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees, foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, and evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right. 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 288,477th in the world and 227th in Forest for Most Primitive, scoring -237.44 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
