The Empire of Solondia is a very large, safe nation, notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, daily referendums, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 190 million Solondianese enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 12.1%.

The powerhouse Solondian economy, worth 17.8 trillion Percs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,724 Percs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, birth rates have hit an all-time low, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, and returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solondia's national animal is the Vienndian Musical Crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Solondia is ranked 86,208^th in the world and 89^th in Wintreath for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,845.79 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
