The State of Bois Bleu is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.778 billion Bois Bleuans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The thriving Bois Bleuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,082 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 35,172 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the government is avowedly atheist, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bois Bleu's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bois Bleu is ranked 190,347^th in the world and 6^th in Luxembourg for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
