The Confederation of Blauhaven is a massive, genial nation, ruled by the Federal Council of Blauhaven with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.271 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 73.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Blauhavenian economy, worth 186 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 146,658 Blauhaven Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, and politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech. 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 17,521^st in the world and 309^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,635.96 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
