The Confederation of Blauhaven is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the Federal Council of Blauhaven with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.26 billion Blauhavenians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prissavik. The average income tax rate is 73.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Blauhavenian economy, worth 183 trillion Blauhaven Pounds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 145,843 Blauhaven Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", even secular Blauhavenians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", and Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blauhaven's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Blauhaven is ranked 159,018^th in the world and 204^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 503.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
