The Aash'n African Administrative Zone (commonly shortened to AAAZ) is a series of non-contiguous territories governed by the Aash'n, roughly analogous to the Maghreb, but with several distinctions. It was established in 1968 by the United Nations Aash'n Affairs Council. Technically, there are no human citizens of the AAAZ, though humans do live in the area, whose needs are accommodated on a site-by-site basis, and are subject to Aash'n law within these areas.
