The Colony of RV Unrelenting Sea is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, state-planned economy, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed population of 427 million RV Unrelenting Seans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The RV Unrelenting Sean economy, worth 25.1 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Retail, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 58,670 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ravers are having trouble getting used to blackcurrant squash instead of vodka, Bambi has been banned, the best doughnut stores have been taken over by foreign police officers, and the price of freedom is about half a million dollars. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. RV Unrelenting Sea's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

RV Unrelenting Sea is ranked 251,715^th in the world and 3^rd in Cypress Cove for Nicest Citizens, with 1.14 average smiles per day.
