The People's Republic of Solova is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Workers with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, soft-spoken computers, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 17.11 billion Solovans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The People's Commune. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Solovan economy, worth a remarkable 6,042 trillion Solovs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 353,154 Solovs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, and all citizens must pass a 'multicultural sensitivity test' to be deemed fit for society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solova's national animal is the Donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Solova is ranked 92^nd in the world and 4^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Developed, scoring 100.69 on the Human Development Index.
