The Federal Republic of Northern Seleucia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Joshua Disraeli with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.327 billion Northern Seleucians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Seleucian economy, worth a remarkable 2,787 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 380,453 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, and at least 4 unique companies in Northern Seleucia claim to sell Eckie-Cola. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Seleucia's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Northern Seleucia is ranked 3,014^th in the world and 1^st in Alesia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 291.48 kickbacks per hour.
