The Kingdom of Selionia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, fear of technology, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 270 million Selionians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Education and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Selionian economy, worth 6.89 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,506 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, most towns have their Leader High School located on Leader Street, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', and a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Selionia's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Selionia is ranked 138,942^nd in the world and 279^th in Sophia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,224.54 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
