Azrune
Azrune, sometimes known as the First Nation, is the oldest nation state of Azimuth. It was once a world-spanning "unation", but has since declined to become one of the smallest powers; though still hitting much heavier than its weight due to political legacy and vastly advanced Gold Age technology.
The nation's capital is Nubylon, while its currency is the Floril. The primary language spoken in Azrune is Azbuka, with the Azrunite Accent.
History
Azrune's founding predates The Collapse, having stood for most of the Gold Age. Over the years its influence waned as cities and territories declared their independence. This process went largely unopposed by Azrune itself, due to a continuing governmental policy of non-intervention and the Proctor's philosophy of "leaving be".

Azrune's cities are typically cosmopolitan and generally cleaner than those found elsewhere.
Politics and Hierarchy
Azrune is often described as a constitutional monarchy, although its system is somewhat unique. Executive power is held by the Prime Minister, while the allegedly immortal Proctor acts as Head of State and chief advisor to the government.
