The Dilapadated Houses of Blue Martins is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.93 billion Blue Martinsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Industry, although Education and Social Policy are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.
The very strong Blue Martinsian economy, worth 813 trillion Cents a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 45,378 Cents, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 297,629 per year while the poor average 2,709, a ratio of 109 to 1.
Corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, and teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Blue Martins's national animal is the House Martin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Blue Martins is ranked 139,458th in the world and 4th in The Watchtower for Most Stationary, with 212.7688221612 days.
