The Mercenary Republic of Solis Ortis is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Anderson with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.046 billion Solis Ortisans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glatisant. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Solis Ortisan economy, worth a remarkable 1,424 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,213 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government spends billions to protect Solis Ortis from a disaster that is one in a million, gossip magazines have pictures of President Anderson sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, happiness is all being miserable together, and statistics show that terrorists often come from broken families. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solis Ortis's national animal is the Chimera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Neo Imperial-Paganism.

Solis Ortis is ranked 55,727^th in the world and 1,640^th in The East Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 2.15 Bank.
