The Communalate of Selu-Ahare is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Sed-Il Ahare with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.943 billion Seluans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sali. The average income tax rate is 85.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Selu-Aharean economy, worth 298 trillion Silvons a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 42,969 Silvons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sleeping on the job is recommended, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, Sed-Il Ahare has just been declared ruler of Selu-Ahare in an international press conference, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Selu-Ahare's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Selu-Ahare is ranked 169,699^th in the world and 466^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 147.18 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
