The Second of Select One is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Not Two with an iron fist, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.293 billion Wuns 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acceptance. The average income tax rate is 54.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Wunish economy, worth a remarkable 5,375 trillion Seeds a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 310,824 Seeds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, Not Two can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, and Select One successfully hosted the Australia Olympics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Select One's national animal is the Pet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is for weak people.

Select One is ranked 126,700th in the world and 19th in Australia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,398.2 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
