The Confederacy of Soloriania is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Premier Sarima Keso with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.478 billion Solorianians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maharon. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Solorianian economy, worth 483 trillion paras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 139,147 paras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a hole in the heart of every Solorianian city, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Premier Sarima Keso is a silly poophead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soloriania's national animal is the Austral black hyena, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soloriania is ranked 66,871st in the world and 627th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,255.81 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
