The Nationaalrepubliek of Blauer Fluss is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Adriaan van Schoppenboer with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.242 billion Veerenboers enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, with Spirituality, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Staschoten. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.5%.

The powerhouse Veerenboer economy, worth 123 trillion Blauwe Kroners a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 98,695 Blauwe Kroners, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 358,600 per year while the poor average 19,334, a ratio of 18.5 to 1.

Women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, and the election for Adriaan van Schoppenboer's office's janitor is heating up. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Blauer Fluss's national animal is the Blue River Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Blauer Fluss is ranked 90,892nd in the world and 4th in World of Lostoria for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,490.77 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
