The Union of Solar Energy and Free States is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister John Renalt with a fair hand, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 19.138 billion Unionists hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. The average income tax rate is 17.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Unionist economy, worth a remarkable 7,751 trillion Union Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 405,037 Union Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is avowedly secular, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, and coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops. Crime is totally unknown. Solar Energy and Free States's national animal is the black bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholisism.

Solar Energy and Free States is ranked 8,793^rd in the world and 489^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,867.17 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
