The Community of Selu-Ahare is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 180 million 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.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Selu-Aharean economy, worth 3.66 trillion Silvons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 20,344 Silvons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and citizens are less concerned with policy and more concerned with whether politicians "call 'em like they see 'em". 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 124,968^th in the world and 967^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,234.16 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
