The Woodhouse Sanctum of BSea

“Skin on skin, let the love begin”

The Woodhouse Sanctum of BSea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The devout population of 22.936 billion BSeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 63.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming BSean economy, worth a remarkable 1,975 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 86,139 $$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency, fine dining is just too fine for most of the populace, and scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BSea's national animal is the swordfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

BSea is ranked 78,179^th in the world and 1^st in Black Sea for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 100.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
