The People's Republic of Blauwskjold is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Élodie Valentin with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 947 million Blauwskjoldingar enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yr. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Blauwskjolding economy, worth 83.4 trillion krœns a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,080 krœns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, people are more interested in gossip about the private lives of politicians than their policies, and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blauwskjold's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Blauwskjold is ranked 18,440^th in the world and 99^th in Refugia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,377.57 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
