The Arctic Bailiwick of Blauwskjold is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Nicholas Pendragon Carreaheorte with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.067 billion Bláuwskȝoldingar enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yr. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blauwskjolding economy, worth 697 trillion krœns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 114,993 krœns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, Max Barry is this year's Miss Blauwskjold, no one gossips with Nicholas Pendragon Carreaheorte during diplomatic summits, and shanty towns of homeless immigrants are the ideal recruiting ground for terrorist organisations. Crime is totally unknown. Blauwskjold's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Blauwskjold is ranked 8,991^st in the world and 67^th in Refugia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,954.49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
