The People's Republic of Solesie is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Commissioner Jelena Petrovna with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, enslaved workforce, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.142 billion Solesians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olezhyr-Marrivka. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Solesian economy, worth a remarkable 5,253 trillion Solesian roubles 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 a breathtaking 574,645 Solesian roubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Glamping Solesians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, every workday begins with group therapy, and only adults may purchase violent video games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solesie's national animal is the ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State atheism.

Solesie is ranked 221,577^th in the world and 27^th in Calme Ybovien for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 85.49 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
