The 42 Percent Tax Evasion Rate of The Blue Fire is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Meel with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.913 billion Fi'rei are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morhal-Bismuth. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fi'rean economy, worth 341 trillion Flats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 117,157 Flats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Autopsies often involve only cursory examination, drones are unable to lift the weight of their accompanying paperwork, the "Rump Diet" is all the rage, and children's TV shows are having a gay old time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Blue Fire's national animal is the Firefish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Blue Fire is ranked 288,753rd in the world and 354th in Refugia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -20.04 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
