The Hellenistic State of The Seleucid Empire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, parental licensing program, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 14.496 billion Seleucid Empireans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 73.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Seleucid Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 1,581 trillion Drachms 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 109,129 Drachms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Binoculars sales are at an all-time high, politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, and courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Seleucid Empireans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Seleucid Empire's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Seleucid Empire is ranked 46,987^th in the world and 2,902^nd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
