The Commonwealth of Solenthea is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 9 million Solentheans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Solenthean economy, worth 145 billion shiles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 16,062 shiles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Solenthea Blood Tithe, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, and interest in globalism never flags. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solenthea's national animal is the ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Solenthea is ranked 30,972^nd in the world and 365^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Secular, with 32.37 Atheism Rate.
