The Protectorate of Blue Stripes is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning tiger population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 19.121 billion Blue Stripes enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stripetown. The average income tax rate is 32.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Blue Stripesian economy, worth 427 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 22,356 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blue Stripes has designated Stripetown as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blue Stripes's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Blue Stripes is ranked 161,537^th in the world and 2^nd in The Sense of Right Alliance for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
