The Hellenistic State of The Seleucid Empire is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 10.59 billion Seleucid Empireans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.5%.

The thriving Seleucid Empirean economy, worth 841 trillion Drachms a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,462 Drachms, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Document forgery is a critical skill for would-be politicians, university graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts, dogs are encouraged to confront the psychodynamic roots of their desire to be "good boys", and companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Seleucid Empire's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Seleucid Empire is ranked 216,051^st in the world and 526^th in The Leftist Assembly for Smartest Citizens, with 17.84 quips per hour.
