The Blue Ocean of Teh north pacific is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Poseidon with an even hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, daily referendums, and spontaneously combusting cars.

Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Teh north pacific's national animal is the jellyfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
