The Deadly Enemies of Selay is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ssestar with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory vegetarianism, and ubiquitous missile silos. The quiet, industrious population of 1.849 billion Selay 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nessh. The average income tax rate is 32.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Selay economy, worth 86.5 trillion Federation Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,771 Federation Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, Selay's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Selay's national animal is the Canid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Selay is ranked 115,974^th in the world and 118^th in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 681.02 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
