The Colony of RV Unrelenting Sea is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 4.525 billion RV Unrelenting Seans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 63.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming RV Unrelenting Sean economy, worth 617 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. 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 an impressive 136,371 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government is telling wizards to put their heart into their work, screenwriters and actors seem to be in short supply these days, sports fans complain that cricket tests now last an unbearable ten days, and tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. RV Unrelenting Sea's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

RV Unrelenting Sea is ranked 146,823^rd in the world and 4^th in Cypress Cove for Most Developed, scoring 55.83 on the Human Development Index.
