The Queendom of Seabubble is a large, cultured nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 50 million Seabubbleans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Seabubblean economy, worth 796 billion bubbles 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 Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports and Tourism. Average income is 15,920 bubbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There are six more weeks of winter if a northerner sees his shadow, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, and film studios own the rights to actors' likenesses until the next millennium. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seabubble's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Seabubble is ranked 245,141st in the world and 80th in Caer Sidi for Highest Poor Incomes, with 14,950.14 Standard Monetary Units.
