The Defunct Imperial House of Absolute Selania is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Vãtieslav III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.179 billion Selanese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novwgord. The average income tax rate is 52.8%.

The very strong Selanese economy, worth 463 trillion coins a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,499 coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Tumbleweeds made of litter adorn city streets, pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, and card collectors duel to the death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute Selania's national animal is the Hornislav cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Selanese Imperial Christianity.

Absolute Selania is ranked 158,939^th in the world and 3^rd in Unification Committee for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 807 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
