The Impending Doom of Blue Shell is a titanic, pleasant nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 16.173 billion Blue Shellians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The strong Blue Shellian economy, worth 864 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 53,461 florins, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Blue Shell's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Blue Shell is ranked 38,763^rd in the world and 1,417^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,570.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
