The Republic of Seahawks12 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.418 billion Seahawks12ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Seahawks12ian economy, worth 820 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 185,741 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.
Sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, census workers are having a hard time figuring out who is actually living in Seahawks12 after the ban on emigration was lifted, people are turning themselves into worm food, and father-son fishing trips have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seahawks12's national animal is the seahawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Seahawks12 is ranked 32,419th in the world and 8th in Happyfax for Highest Food Quality, scoring 57.83 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
