The Confederation of Blauhaven is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by the Federal Council of Blauhaven with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.406 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 74.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Blauhavenian economy, worth 214 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 152,505 Blauhaven Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Parents dread their examinations more than their children, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, and political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions. 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 236,312^th in the world and 278^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2.68 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
