The Principality of Sol des Chateau is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 727 million Chateauz'ens are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seiéseñielle. The average income tax rate is 73.7%.

The thriving Chateauze economy, worth 49.3 trillion frauzjes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,775 frauzjes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

School teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sol des Chateau's national animal is the black sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sol des Chateau is ranked 77,888^th in the world and 62^nd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,826.64 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
