The Empire of The Imperium of Selkirkia is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.847 billion Selkirkians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalzig. The average income tax rate is 21.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Selkirkian economy, worth 109 trillion Imperial Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,021 Imperial Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, and homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Imperium of Selkirkia's national animal is the Two Headed Eagle.

The Imperium of Selkirkia is ranked 111,510^th in the world and 5,519^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,765.7 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
