“Fly Blue”

The Big Blue TSP Nation of Southern Bellz is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.522 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 the Environment, Public Transport, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Southern Bellz City. The average income tax rate is 57%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Arms Manufacturing.

Religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Southern Bellz City. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Southern Bellz's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the southern bell.

Southern Bellz is ranked 2115th in the region and 41,628th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
