The Kingdom of Selionia is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, fear of technology, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 497 million Selionians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Education and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Selionian economy, worth 14.3 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,708 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", many are questioning Leader wearing an Eckie-Ecola baseball cap during a keynote speech, the government is often referred to as "the biggest drug dealer in the nation", and citizens often pray for divine guidance in supermarkets. 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 327,367^th in the world and 579^th in Sophia for Most Cultured, scoring 44 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
