The Kingdom of Solgavden is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chancellor Sondergaard with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.847 billion Solgavs enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lysborg. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solgavish economy, worth 500 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,150 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, nothing in life is promised except death and government support, a ban on robots in disguise has transformed the entertainment industry, and prisons in Solgavden are the summer homes of murderers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solgavden's national animal is the stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Solgavden is ranked 48,945th in the world and 4th in Greater Ixnay for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,912.91 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
