The Confederation of Blauhaven is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the Federal Council of Blauhaven with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.481 billion Blauhavenians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prissavik. The average income tax rate is 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blauhavenian economy, worth 235 trillion Blauhaven Pounds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 158,442 Blauhaven Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, and they say that Blauhavenians made a dessert and called it peace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blauhaven's national animal is the Emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Blauhaven is ranked 83,983^rd in the world and 283^rd in The Communist Bloc for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.64 percentage of bribes refused.
