The Vanguard State of Lesser Sealand is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.865 billion Sealanders love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Port City. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sealandic economy, worth 406 trillion Sealandic Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 83,553 Sealandic Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a hole in the heart of every Sealandic city, Lesser Sealand recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, raccoons are plump and satiated, and bins outnumber trees in city parks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lesser Sealand's national animal is the Sea Creature, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Lesser Sealand is ranked 29,083^rd in the world and 117^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,714.77 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
