The Community of Overseas Selanese Communities is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 852 million Selanese 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 29.3%.

The strong Selanese economy, worth 31.0 trillion coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. Average income is 36,431 coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and Leader's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many. Crime is moderate. Overseas Selanese Communities's national animal is the Hornislav cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Overseas Selanese Communities is ranked 115,864^th in the world and 1^st in Overseas Selanese Communities for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 140.77 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
