The Dominion of United Territories of Sol is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Lady Nova Artemys Starr with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 880 million United Territories of Solians 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, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Orsana. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving United Territories of Solian economy, worth 89.1 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 101,303 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Keeping the lights on keeps the lights on for increasing amounts of United Territories of Solians, one does not simply walk into the tundra, the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, and citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Territories of Sol's national animal is the Light-Drake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

United Territories of Sol is ranked 289,778th in the world and 12th in Swirling Fires for Fattest Citizens, with 5.63 Obesity Rate.
