Azania has been known by her present borders for nearly two centuries now. We also occupy and administer Angola by invitation of her people, providing order in this once-turbulent nation. The nations of Zimbabwe and Botswana share much of our infrastructure and use many Azanian facilities and systems to meet their needs, although they remain sovereign nations under our protection. The world community has referred to this area as the Azanian Protectorate for just over a century.

Our flag is relatively new, only having been ratified as the official flag in 2243. The previous flag, dating to 2034, used similar colors arrayed in slanting arcs and displayed in its center the pine cone from which our country takes its name (due to the pine-cone-like shape of the southern part of Africa). The new flag was adopted to reflect the changing role of Azania in international relations, peacekeeping, and colonization.

The blue band at the top of thye flag symbolizes the sky overhead; the green band at the bottom is Earth below us. In the middle of the flag is a band of gold for the bounty of Azania's croplands; this band of gold is framed on each side by orange bands representing the beautiful sunlit hills which bound our croplands and overlook our cities. Finally, the black-and-white shield and weapons in the center of the flag symbolize tradition, racial harmony, and protection, for this is what we humbly provide to ourselves and our neighbors in Africa.

Azania is a representative democracy. The government is divided into four main branches:

Executive - The President and his or her Cabinet
Legislative - Our unicameral Parliament
Judicial - The court system
Tribal - The various tribal councils and their chieftains

The Azanian government is quite complex, and is discussed in detail on its own page.

President Lansing Intembe took office on December 12, 2302, voted in by one of the largest margins in Azanian history. He has set a bold new course for Azania, and promises to take our great nation to new heights and a new position of international and interstellar prominence. A full biography of President Lansing Intembe has been provided.

Prime Minister Verwoerd has held his office for 17 years. He has made a lasting mark on Azania and the world. A descendant of the Afrikaans-speaking white settlers, he provides a powerful voice for the minority white population of Azania, but he has proven, time and again, that he has the best interests in mind for all Azanians. A full biography of Prime Minister Tanik Verwoerd has been provided.

Along with Azania's unusual governmental system, she has one of the most dynamic and, to an outsider, puzzling political landscapes of any nation in todays world. Political parties can be found which represent tribes, races, special interests, and ideologies. Some are small and focused, others are large and all-encompassing. We have provided an overview of the Azanian political landscape for the uninitiated.

Azania has enjoyed peaceful and productive international relations for centuries. This is not to imply that Azania does not occupy a dynamic position on the stage of world politics, however. An overview of Azania's International Relations has been provided.
