The Democratic Republic of Selinarius is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.657 billion Selinariusians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 50.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Selinariusian economy, worth 465 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,995 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events, printing out government documents requires the approval of at least three admins, and years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Selinarius's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Selinarius is ranked 126,630th in the world and 154th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
