The United Republic of The Sea Pig is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mr Branderfloxsetsermanx with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, complete lack of prisons, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 21.882 billion Sea Pigers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pigtopia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient A Sea Piger economy, worth a remarkable 4,960 trillion Galactic Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 226,673 Galactic Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mr Branderfloxsetsermanx's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sea Pig's national animal is the Sea pig, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Sea Pig is ranked 5,752^nd in the world and 3^rd in Camerania for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 11,587.49 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
