The Empire of Seltsames Auge is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Toribius Wäßch III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.034 billion Seltsames enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Tersiris. The average income tax rate is 22.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Seltsamesian economy, worth 262 trillion Märshes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 129,278 Märshes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, the government has declared that too much democracy gets in the way of sensible leadership, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, and people boast about their low income on their dating profiles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Seltsames Auge's national animal is the Raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Seltsames Auge is ranked 44,381^st in the world and 22^nd in Callista for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
