The Picnic stealing seagulls of The Kingdom of Seagulls is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Memoca with a fair hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 11.437 billion Sky rats are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gullytown. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Seagullsian economy, worth 822 trillion Foods a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,886 Foods, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Landless farmers wander forlornly in the government's many national parks, uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist, customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, and foreign musicians that Empress Memoca dislikes are turned away at the border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Kingdom of Seagulls's national animal is the Seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Gullism.
The Kingdom of Seagulls is ranked 15,174th in the world and 1st in The Interdimensional Community for Most Stationary, with 1,768.94322204228 days.
