The Republic of California Seals

“You Can't Stop Progress”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of California Seals is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Seal with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The quiet, industrious population of 7.692 billion California Sealsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sealtown. The average income tax rate is 38.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The California Sealsian economy, worth 379 trillion Pucks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,301 Pucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Seal has just been declared ruler of California Seals in an international press conference, a shocking number of estate planners are beneficiaries of their clients' wills, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, and charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. California Seals's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

California Seals is ranked 184,729^th in the world and 85^th in Equestria for Most Primitive, scoring -73.21 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
