The Allied States of Solaria Alliance is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by First Representative James Bell with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.159 billion Solarians 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 large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Terra. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Solarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,099 trillion Alliance Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 178,536 Alliance Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare", the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and the carbon footprint falls along with the human footprint during war. Crime is totally unknown. Solaria Alliance's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Solaria Alliance is ranked 3,474^th in the world and 2^nd in Saint Helene for Nicest Citizens, with 56.86 average smiles per day.
