The Community of Selins is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 14.048 billion Selinians 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 government prioritizes Spirituality, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 13.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Selinsian economy, worth 697 trillion sherds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,627 sherds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

A lack of funding for new shows has turned television into 24/7 re-runs, endocrinology is a rapidly growing field of study, no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, and the mummified remains of former kings are apparently discovered every time a tourist loses their wallet. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Selins's national animal is the goose, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Selins is ranked 14,553^rd in the world and 1^st in The Arm of Orion for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 5,500.54 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
