The Empire of Selox is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Selami with an iron fist, and renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, prohibition of alcohol, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.379 billion Seloxians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Samsun. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Seloxian economy, worth 127 trillion Yellow molars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 92,743 Yellow molars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, fast food restaurants everywhere are under the control of a gigantic government corporation, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, and cub scouts are being asked to hand in their woggles as the state withdraws funding for scouting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Selox's national animal is the Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is İslam.

Selox is ranked 307,917^th in the world and 74^th in Nordwrath for Nicest Citizens, with 0.78 average smiles per day.
