RV Peaceful Sea

The Colony of RV Peaceful Sea is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.65 billion Jeltronians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.5%.

The all-consuming RV Peaceful Sean economy, worth 300 trillion Jeltronian Estedoes a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,331 Jeltronian Estedoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", the judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, demand for night vision goggles and boat engine mufflers has spiked, and twelfth-generation Jeltronians are deported for not knowing Leader's childhood nickname. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RV Peaceful Sea's national animal is the Humpback Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

RV Peaceful Sea is ranked 1,121st in the world and 1st in Cypress Cove for Most Primitive, scoring 242.76 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
