The Republic of Blue Lines is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.578 billion Blue Linesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Blue Linesian economy, worth 75.3 trillion guilders 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 47,741 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, it's rare to find an unchewed pencil, and foreign nationals are widely distrusted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blue Lines's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Blue Lines is ranked 173,537^th in the world and 582^nd in junk for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,083.95 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
