The State of Sea Venture is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.282 billion Sea Ventureans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The very strong Sea Venturean economy, worth a remarkable 1,160 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 63,477 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 179,184 per year while the poor average 18,001, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Sea Venture has designated Douglas City as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Sea Venture in an international press conference, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sea Venture's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sea Venture is ranked 98,292^nd in the world and 5^th in Queensland for Most Beautiful Environments, with 568.17 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
