The Protectorate of Beale Street Blues is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 6 million Beale Street Bluesians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The very strong Beale Street Bluesian economy, worth 375 billion Mice a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 62,501 Mice, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 181,010 per year while the poor average 17,102, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Beale Street Blues's national animal is the Cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Beale Street Blues is ranked 133,667^th in the world and 646^th in the Outback for Most Developed, scoring 57.09 on the Human Development Index.
