The United States of Blue Pillars is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 506 million Zorgazians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Sancturia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The thriving Blue Pillarsian economy, worth 31.0 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 61,324 bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,070 per year while the poor average 12,509, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Zorgazians any less frightened, and Blue Pillars has designated New Sancturia as its capital city. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Blue Pillars's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Blue Pillars is ranked 117,027^th in the world and 22^nd in Rosaria for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 10,250.9 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
