The Rum Soaked Eldritch Horror of Blue Wolf II is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by General Scardino with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 28.018 billion Blue Wolves 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 tiny, corrupt, pro-business government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Northwind Citadel. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Blue Wolvian economy, worth a remarkable 8,079 trillion raven skulls a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 288,365 raven skulls, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,392,762 per year while the poor average 6,993, a ratio of 342 to 1.
Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, birth rates have hit an all-time low, and scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Blue Wolf II's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Blue Wolf II is ranked 51,362nd in the world and 1,135th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 37.97 kickbacks per hour.
