The Wild blue yonder of Forever Blue is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.261 billion Forever Blueans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mahkato. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Forever Bluean economy, worth a remarkable 1,842 trillion periwinkles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,219 periwinkles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 617,486 per year while the poor average 15,857, a ratio of 38.9 to 1.

Aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, the internal market is thriving, crime pays, and elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-periwinkle mansions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Forever Blue's national animal is the blue-ringed octopus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Forever Blue is ranked 39,012th in the world and 1st in Islam for Most Developed, scoring 80.13 on the Human Development Index.
