The Empire of Solstheims is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 132 million Solstheimites 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 Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 20.7%.

The very strong Solstheimsian economy, worth 11.5 trillion Septims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 86,908 Septims, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, Leader has taken to wearing medal-adorned military uniform in all public appearances, racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, and peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solstheims's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Solstheims is ranked 115,022^nd in the world and 20^th in Cumberperry for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 722.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
