“Fly Blue”

The Big Blue TSP Nation of Southern Bellz is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.012 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, the Environment, and Public Transport. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Southern Bellz City. The average income tax rate is 58%. A large private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Uranium Mining.

The nation's favourite colour is purple (Southern Bellz has found 1 easter eggs), the government seizes all major gold finds, appendix transplant figures have recently doubled, and eight year-olds with lemonade stands have been known to be locked up on charges of embezzlement. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive 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 1925th in the region and 40,337th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
