The Federal Republic of Northern Seleucia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Joshua Disraeli with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.466 billion Northern Seleucians 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, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Seleucian economy, worth a remarkable 2,468 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 381,731 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

You can't make an omelet without breaking a few legs, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, Air Northern Seleucia is rumored to receive more government funding than the Northern Seleucian Air Force, and atheists on vacation find Christianity's scriptures make useful doorstops. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Seleucia's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Northern Seleucia is ranked 27,977^th in the world and 2^nd in Alesia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
