The Republic of Blue Sour Patch Kid is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 224 million Blue Sour Patch Kidians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The thriving Blue Sour Patch Kidian economy, worth 16.6 trillion Sourbelts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 74,170 Sourbelts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,461 per year while the poor average 15,867, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Blue Sour Patch Kid's national animal is the Gummy Bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Blue Sour Patch Kid is ranked 111,578^th in the world and 2^nd in Sour Patch Farm for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 86.31 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
