The People's Republic of Solvino is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 186 million Solvinoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 14.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Solvinoan economy, worth 11.7 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 62,704 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Enthusiasm for abstract art has gone up in smoke, the only women behind bars are barmaids, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, and the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Solvino's national animal is the caribou, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Solvino is ranked 323,341^st in the world and 48^th in Aurelian Republic for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -11.83 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
