The Democratic Republic of Blue Playing Cards is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, avowedly heterosexual populace, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed population of 3.268 billion Blue Playing Cardsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Blue Playing Cardsian economy, worth 392 trillion Aces a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,962 Aces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, misbehaving Jacks deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blue Playing Cards's national animal is the Jack, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Blue Playing Cards is ranked 26,205^th in the world and 633^rd in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
