“Viva la BlueJam”

The United Socialist States of Bluejam is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Asahi CHAN with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.656 billion Bluejamians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liscau am Rheinus. The average income tax rate is 86.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bluejamian economy, worth 232 trillion MOPS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 140,687 MOPS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-MOP mansions, 3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly, and demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bluejam's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bluejam is ranked 18,119^th in the world and 467^th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 91 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
