The Most Serene Republic of Seashells by the Seashore is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 1.01 billion Seashoreans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beauty Mark of Bastan. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Seashells by the Seashorean economy, worth 33.2 trillion eddies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 32,908 eddies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, notable individuals are granted land and titles, the nation's air force consists of strongly-worded letters folded into paper airplanes, and email killed the radio star. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seashells by the Seashore's national animal is the scallop, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Seashells by the Seashore is ranked 3,776^th in the world and 4^th in Wintercrest for Most Primitive, scoring 137.78 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
