The Galactic Solar Empire of The Republic of Western Sol is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme leader G3U-GTU with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.765 billion West solarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osmarch. The average income tax rate is 52.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Republic of Western Solian economy, worth 368 trillion Catuns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 208,803 Catuns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation leads 10000 Islands in per capita stalking, former televangelists are often seen begging skateboarders for donations, the government is under the thumb of countless special interests, and imitation is the sincerest form of felony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Republic of Western Sol's national animal is the Solarian bombardier beetle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The scientific method.

The Republic of Western Sol is ranked 32,370^th in the world and 284^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 5,614.76 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
