The frighteningly efficient Sea shepian economy, worth 809 trillion Dark Matter grams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

Average income is an impressive 162,266 Dark Matter grams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, and the bourgeoisie are asked nicely to hand over the means of production. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sea shep's national animal is the Sea lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is We live in a Simulation Prove me wrong.

Sea shep is ranked 185,733^rd in the world and 7,472^nd in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 278.47 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
