The Democratic Republic of Blue State is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by BlueMan with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, enslaved workforce, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.63 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 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blue Statean economy, worth a remarkable 4,292 trillion kroners a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 155,367 kroners, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, debate rages over whether ground fish guts can be spread on fields, cars are allowed to drive in bike lanes, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. 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 3,819th in the world and 63rd in Nederland for Most Stationary, with 3,551.70606024 days.
