The Colony of RV Charming Sea is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, ritual sacrifices, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.411 billion RV Charming Seans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 64.1%.

The frighteningly efficient RV Charming Sean economy, worth 383 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,442 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Triple black diamond is the only ski difficulty, movie references are legally admissible in court, serial killers share cells with serial jaywalkers, and food voucher forgeries are causing headaches for the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RV Charming Sea's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

RV Charming Sea is ranked 22,562^nd in the world and 1^st in Anubis for Most Cultured, scoring 85 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
