The Empire of Selox is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Selami with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, prohibition of alcohol, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.305 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, 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 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Seloxian economy, worth 119 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, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. 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 91,874 Yellow molars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, bicyclists are banned from major roads, arts classes now teach children how to sketch the perfect sine curve, and some Seloxians have nicknamed the monarch "Caligula". 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 6,677th in the world and 2nd in Nordwrath for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,238.63 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
