The Empire of Solondia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 218 million Solondianese 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 14.2%.

The powerhouse Solondian economy, worth 20.1 trillion Percs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 92,067 Percs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, and Leader is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solondia's national animal is the Vienndian Musical Crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Solondia is ranked 86,809^th in the world and 165^th in Wintreath for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 312.21 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
