The Holy Empire of Nuevo Blluedevil is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Magnanimous I with an iron fist, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 2.351 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuevo Blluedevil City. The average income tax rate is 78%, and even higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Soda Sales industry.

The government is reining in public spending, the government has the power to seize property at will, cheating spouses are required to undergo job training, and cars are banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nuevo Blluedevil's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Empirical Mark.

Nuevo Blluedevil is ranked 16th in Federation of Nations and 82,058th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -18 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
