The Dictatorship of North Hells Saellue is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 255 million Saellueans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bulwark of Akaline. The average income tax rate is 64.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse North Hells Saelluean economy, worth 27.9 trillion dollars 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 109,551 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, owning a tractor is widely regarded as an essential prerequisite to most government positions, Saellueans visiting rural Southern Squirrel Village can get their driving records clean for a small fee, and the government is purchasing vast amounts of palm oil for plastics production. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Hells Saellue's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

North Hells Saellue is ranked 53,143^rd in the world and 58^th in Lands End for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,697.41 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
