The Extraordinary Blues Guitar of Stevie Ray is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Guitar Hero with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 41.953 billion Stevie Rayians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Austin City Limits. The average income tax rate is 69.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Stevie Rayian economy, worth an astonishing 12,544 trillion Blueses a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 299,021 Blueses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Equality looks curiously unequal, Guitar Hero is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations, and internet service is too costly for normal people to purchase. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Stevie Ray's national animal is the Austinite, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stevie Ray is ranked 5,808th in the world and 83rd in NationStates for Highest Food Quality, scoring 196.65 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
