The Independent State of Soledoor is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Praefectus with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.692 billion Solerians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soledoor City. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solerian economy, worth 491 trillion Solerian Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,182 Solerian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Private surgeons have been told to cut it out, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Soledoor, drowning sailors are hung out to dry, and jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soledoor's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Soledoor is ranked 325,853^rd in the world and 1^st in Soledoor for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 19.13 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
