The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.6%.

The Blue Skyean economy, worth 79.1 trillion Groats a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 40,952 Groats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blue Skye's national animal is the Bagpipe.
