The Democratic Republic of Seenvorland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Caroline Hagen with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.117 billion Seenvorlandians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Altbrunnland. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Seenvorlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,687 trillion Kingins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,815 Kingins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Seenvorlandians like vultures, the official Seenvorlandian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seenvorland's national animal is the Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Seenvorland is ranked 4,558^th in the world and 178^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 15,649.06 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
