The Republic of Blue Chevron is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.709 billion Blue Chevronians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 25.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Blue Chevronian economy, worth 46.3 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 27,067 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Blue Chevron's national animal is the kiwi.

Blue Chevron is ranked 236,811^th in the world and 331^st in Blue Chevron for Most Patriotic, with 5.33 flags saluted per person per day.
