The Dazzling Reflection of Blue Narcissus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Narcissus with an even hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, triple-decker prams, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 35.593 billion Blue Narcissusians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oasis of Perpetual Beauty. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Blue Narcissusian economy, worth an astonishing 12,850 trillion mirrors 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Gambling, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. 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 361,045 mirrors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, email killed the radio star, exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, and the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Blue Narcissus's national animal is the gorgeous self, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Blue Narcissus is ranked 289,860^th in the world and 32^nd in The Maritimes for Safest, scoring 3.98 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
