The Protectorate of The Greater Blu is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Admiral Blu with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 5.918 billion Greater Bluans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaliville. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Greater Bluan economy, worth 322 trillion Great Blu Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 54,459 Great Blu Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, the comic book series 'Admiral Blu and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, voters are one of the nation's top imports, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Greater Blu's national animal is the Artic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism with Cultural Exceptions.

The Greater Blu is ranked 189,849^th in the world and 10^th in Aurora for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 15.87 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
