The Empire of New Sel Panamby is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Kurt with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 10.548 billion New Sel Panambyians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Panamby city. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The New Sel Panambyian economy, worth 728 trillion Panams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 69,038 Panams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kurt is quite hard to get a hold of, people cower in fear when Kurt looks at them, Big Brother is still watching even when your big brother is dead, and singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Sel Panamby's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The only god is the Leader.

New Sel Panamby is ranked 23,951^st in the world and 1,313^th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,015.75 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
