The Republic of Solstein is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 132 million Solsteinians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Solsteinian economy, worth 5.49 trillion Woofs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,613 Woofs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested, eerie glow-in-the-dark cornfields give farmlands an uncanny appearance, saying that someone looks a bit pale can be construed as hate speech, and military training in Solstein emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solstein's national animal is the Corgi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Solstein is ranked 98,939^th in the world and 295^th in Horizon for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,975.36 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
