Fruitland of Blueberry

Population4.887 billion

The Republic of Fruitland of Blueberry is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, disturbing lack of elderly people, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.887 billion Fruitland of Blueberryians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Fruitland of Blueberryian economy, worth 884 trillion berries a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,922 berries, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

Childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, adultery has been made a capital offence, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fruitland of Blueberry's national animal is the bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fruitland of Blueberry is ranked 18,595th in the world and 40th in Gardenia Botanicum for Largest Black Market, with 212 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
