RV Peaceful Sea

The Colony of RV Peaceful Sea is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its smutty television, zero percent divorce rate, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.757 billion Jeltronians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.6%.

The frighteningly efficient RV Peaceful Sean economy, worth 314 trillion Jeltronian Estedoes a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 114,111 Jeltronian Estedoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, survivors receive aid from only the most environmentally-friendly transport, and songs in 4/4 time are simply too common for the musical cognoscenti. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RV Peaceful Sea's national animal is the Humpback Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

RV Peaceful Sea is ranked 285,484th in the world and 3rd in Cypress Cove for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -229.59 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
