The Federated States of SeaLion is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Regina with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, strictly enforced bedtime, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 11.356 billion SeaLionians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oaks. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming SeaLionian economy, worth a remarkable 1,021 trillion Australian Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,933 Australian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, future leaders of SeaLion regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SeaLion's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bast.

SeaLion is ranked 260,217^th in the world and 13,335^th in Balder for Rudest Citizens, with 23.88 insults per minute.
