The Commonwealth of Seleyah is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister James McDonald with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 17.758 billion Seleyans 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adelford. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Seleyan economy, worth a remarkable 3,085 trillion Seleyan Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 173,766 Seleyan Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, Blackacrean security services are wondering why Prime Minister James McDonald is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, and garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Seleyah's national animal is the Seleyan Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Anglican Church of Seleyah.

Seleyah is ranked 27,601^st in the world and 31^st in Empire of Great Britain for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,807.72 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
