The United Kingdom of Seludong is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Manuel IV with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 4.916 billion Seludongeños are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manila. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Seludongeño economy, worth 924 trillion Suwarnas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 188,049 Suwarnas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists, the military has had its funding stripped back as the nation seeks a smaller role in international politics, the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, and college athletes are arrested for selling lemonade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seludong's national animal is the Haribon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Seludong is ranked 165,199^th in the world and 85^th in Philippines for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.51 percentage of bribes refused.
