The Sovereign Union of Bluquse is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Overseer Jeffrey Ross with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 26.059 billion Blusens are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jevana. The average income tax rate is 10.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blusen economy, worth a remarkable 9,682 trillion Mons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 371,558 Mons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The freedom to be free is always just out of reach, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, voting is voluntary, and the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Bluquse's national animal is the Feathered Serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Philosoism.

Bluquse is ranked 3,768^th in the world and 2^nd in Geopolity for Lowest Crime Rates, with 124.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
