The Travelling Nation of Sightseer is a huge, safe nation, ruled by The Sightseeing Guide with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 885 million sightseers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sightseer City. The average income tax rate is 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong sightseeing economy, worth 41.6 trillion doubloons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,039 doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nose plugs are the latest sightseeing fashion accessory, The Sightseeing Guide has just been declared ruler of Sightseer in an international press conference, a life spent suffering in silence is considered noble, and bris parties are all the rage. Crime is totally unknown. Sightseer's national animal is the flamingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sightseer is ranked 270,400^th in the world and 1,341^st in Europe for Most Secular, with 11.65 Atheism Rate.
