The Matriarchy of Clans of Sol is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 209 million Humans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Clans of Solian economy, worth 10.2 trillion Eastern Credits 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 48,762 Eastern Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Buildings are experiencing some new ten-ants, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, bug burgers are extra crunchy, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clans of Sol's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Clans of Sol is ranked 17,552^nd in the world and 2^nd in Many Worlds for Nicest Citizens, with 24.05 average smiles per day.
