The United Socialist States of Sol- is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 5.43 billion Solites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Solarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,185 trillion Ergs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 218,275 Ergs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people's love for Leader is little more than self-preservation, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sol-'s national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sol- is ranked 2,234^th in the world and 63^rd in The Communist Bloc for Most Developed, scoring 97.88 on the Human Development Index.
