The Free Land of Blue Jay is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Blue Jay with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.123 billion blue jays are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bird Nest. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient blue jay economy, worth 639 trillion peanuts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 204,874 peanuts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Kindhearted blue jays generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries, troops are either deafened by gunfire or a hysterical voice screaming the Party manifesto, every conceivable scenic location has been completely booked by couples desperate to marry, and the blue jay government is the world's largest NGO. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blue Jay's national animal is the blue jay, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Holy Peanut.

Blue Jay is ranked 7,435^th in the world and 4^th in Refugia for Largest Black Market, with 914 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
