The Bells of Sealokin is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.207 billion Sealokinians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Sealokinian economy, worth 514 trillion Marks a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,121 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, NPCs in MMORPGs regularly interrupt cutscenes with OOC reminders that they aren't real people, and the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies. Crime is totally unknown. Sealokin's national animal is the Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Sealokin is ranked 165,332nd in the world and 33rd in Christmas for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.68 law-abiding acts per hour.
