The Free Land of Sol Hadden is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, enslaved workforce, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed population of 8.087 billion Businessmen are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Businessman economy, worth 380 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,060 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, woefully uninformed voters cast their ballots at random, there are no more heroes any more, and it's not mass murder when the government does it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sol Hadden's national animal is the Quasar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sol Hadden is ranked 4,439th in the world and 15th in Bytes for Most Primitive, scoring 131.03 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
