The Union Armed Forces of The Seaguard is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 4.939 billion Seaguards 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 Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Octagon. The average income tax rate is 34.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Seaguard economy, worth 278 trillion Taals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,369 Taals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending recently hit a new high and The Seaguard has designated The Octagon as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Seaguard's national animal is the Lupus Aureum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Seaguard is ranked 275,935^th in the world and 65^th in Shinka for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -11.4 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
