The Bannorn of Selhorys is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bann Deccis vos Vivaro with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12.052 billion Selhorysians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valysar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.2%.

The strong Selhorysian economy, worth 769 trillion kamas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 63,874 kamas, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

A primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, Selhorysians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and gossip magazines have been replaced by mask catalogs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Selhorys's national animal is the pygmy elephant and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Selhorys is ranked 160,826^th in the world and 23^rd in Dixie for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 759.3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
