The Second of Select One is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Not Two with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, avowedly heterosexual populace, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.131 billion Wuns 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acceptance. The average income tax rate is 47.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Wunish economy, worth a remarkable 5,060 trillion Seeds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 295,409 Seeds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.
High food prices have reduced the national diet to staple foods and water, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, and soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Select One's national animal is the Pet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is for weak people.
Select One is ranked 6,683rd in the world and 6th in Australia for Most Stationary, with 2,864.07888226612 days.
