The Hybrid Technocracy of Solaeter is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Azrael with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, aversion to nipples, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.933 billion Solaeterans 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, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Equinox Fort. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solaeterian economy, worth 320 trillion Specs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 165,992 Specs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

New arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, financial investors are noting a boom in artillery, and annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solaeter's national animal is the Velociraptor, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Church of Solaeter.

Solaeter is ranked 19,536th in the world and 3rd in Lonia Kreptia Llor for Highest Average Incomes, with 165,992.41 Standard Monetary Units.
