The Republic of Sol Niger Within is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 18 million Sol Niger Withinians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 59.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Sol Niger Withinian economy, worth 301 billion florins 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 16,755 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary, commemoration of the Great Conservative Guild War costs almost as much as the war itself, soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, and misbehaving Mystical Beings deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sol Niger Within's national animal is the Mystical Being, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sol Niger Within is ranked 249,622nd in the world and 32nd in Conservative Guild for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
