The Sketchy Gem Holopad World of Blue Pearl and her Playthings is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Blue Pearl with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.29 billion Playthings 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, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Homeworld. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Playtime economy, worth 928 trillion Gem Shards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 147,556 Gem Shards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Children play a simplified version of hopscotch, citizens wouldn't recognise Blue Pearl if they passed one another on the street, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, and the government is suspected of mass disappearing dissidents both at home and abroad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blue Pearl and her Playthings's national animal is the Angry Sea Space Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.
Blue Pearl and her Playthings is ranked 178,108th in the world and 2nd in Laraniem for Most Stationary, with 82.0703641416 days.
