The United Sea Platforms of Sealand Reborn is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.432 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 81%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, students in Sealand Reborn's schools rarely attend their classes, the nation's massive battleships are often mistaken for islands, and hospitals are run down while the rich pay for private treatment. Crime is relatively low. Sealand Reborn's national animal is the fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Sealand dollar.

Sealand Reborn is ranked 11th in Uroca and 94,378th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -25 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
