The Democratic Republic of Blue State is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by BlueMan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, rampant corporate plagiarism, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 32.959 billion Blue Stateans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of BlueCity. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blue Statean economy, worth a remarkable 5,228 trillion kroners a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 158,644 kroners, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Sick Blue Stateans are hair today and gone tomorrow, children trade in their pickaxes for hammers and sickles, teens graduate from front of house retail to the frontlines of war, and spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blue State's national animal is the albatross, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Blue State is ranked 9,909th in the world and 25th in Nederland for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,585.02 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
