The Empire of Solantara is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 412 million Solantarans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Solantaran economy, worth 35.3 trillion Sols a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 85,724 Sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People are left scratching their heads at the government's decisions, the black market offers sweet deals, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solantara's national animal is the Sun Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Solantara is ranked 275,729^th in the world and 1,138^th in Europe for Largest Populations, with 412 million capita.
