It's an upper stage.

Well it's only point of interest is "lol look at how big I am". Also it seems like stuff about spaceflight just moves very slowly in general. I still meet people who don't know that SpaceX can land rockets.

Just have a fleet of some hybrid of BFR and Sea Dragon with nukes.

A pretty good idea, but it can be "upgraded".

I think a more practical way of doing it would be a conventional first stage with a LANTR upper stage.

Here you go guys, the biggest of big, the most absolute of units. A Nuclear Sea Dragon.

Originally I had planned on both stages being nuclear, but I couldn't find a way to make the first stage an open-cycle gas core NTR simple enough for Sea Dragon. So I just used a modified "standard" Sea Dragon first stage with a nuclear upper stage.

The upper stage (Township) is meant to be like a wandering space station. Traveling around the Solar system to perhaps trade with settlements it finds or make the settlements.
