Azir is a land-locked state in southwestern [[Roshar]], in the geographical region known as [[Makabak]]. The largest Makabaki state, it covers an area of roughly 1,343,000 km<sup>2</sup>, making it the seventh largest nation on the planet.{{url ref|url=https://www.17thshard.com/forum/blogs/entry/634-roshar-physical-characteristics-and-areas/|text=Roshar Physical Characteristics And Areas|site=17th Shard}} To the southeast, it is bordered by the nation of [[Emul]] along a river that serves as Azir's only way to access the sea. The smaller nations of [[Tashikk]], [[Yezier]] and [[Desh]] lay to the west, while in the north, it shares a long border with [[Yulay]].{{map ref|Roshar}}
The highest-ranking members of the government, other than the Prime Aqasix, are the [[wikipedia: vizier|viziers]]. They serve as advisors to the Prime, with enough political pull to force their decisions on them, and are responsible for selecting a new Prime following the death of the previous through an application review process. Their high status and broad knowledge means that each Prime will often be a former vizier, as they can make their applications the most convincing.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}
