The Tyranny of Selinus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Byzas Pammilides with an even hand, and renowned for its fear of technology, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.339 billion Selinuntines 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 large government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Selinus. The average income tax rate is 46.9%.

The very strong Selinuntine economy, worth 68.0 trillion minas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,819 minas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

For just a few extra minas Selinuntines can get new driving records with their new cars, the media have begun calling the government treasury "Byzas Pammilides's stash", graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, and shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Selinus's national animal is the dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans, and its national religion is Temple C.

Selinus is ranked 82,061^st in the world and 1^st in Orion Spur for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
