The Sacred Kingdom of Azzagrat is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Yushamin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.026 billion Uthra are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of mount Zaphon. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Uthraic economy, worth a remarkable 1,000 trillion copper Minas a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,380 copper Minas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The well-to-do in Kirinna are never on time for important appointments, the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, the poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, and bike rage is all the rage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Azzagrat's national animal is the Rukh, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Order of Light.

Azzagrat is ranked 2,298th in the world and 1st in Kirinna for Lowest Crime Rates, with 140.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
