The Federation of Solcius is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Semih Başgan with a fair hand, and renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 13.16 billion Solciusians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yastrebovo. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solciusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,838 trillion Solcius Lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,728 Solcius Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, the nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime is totally unknown. Solcius's national animal is the chocobo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Geberello.

Solcius is ranked 3,761^st in the world and 158^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 62.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
