The People's Republic of Solova is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Workers with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 11.767 billion Solovans are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense is ignored. 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 3,441 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 292,435 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, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, trains and passengers alike are often late, and at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Workers's wardrobe. 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 292,682nd in the world and 1,390th in The Communist Bloc for Most Primitive, scoring -1063.91 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
