The Queen's State of Seems Like is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 38.311 billion Seems Likeans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Seems Likean economy, worth a remarkable 1,672 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 43,654 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The Governor has just been declared ruler of Seems Like in an international press conference, none has been named as Seems Like's national religion, schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seems Like's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Seems Like is ranked 94,365^th in the world and 16^th in State for Nicest Citizens, with 14.64 average smiles per day.
