The Shining Beacon of Solias is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by MrSolias with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.708 billion Soliasians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Administration, Education, and Welfare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of SoliasCity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Soliasian economy, worth a remarkable 2,125 trillion sunrays a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 107,864 sunrays, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

Government crews work tirelessly to retake the suburbs from organized packs of raccoons, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, and the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solias's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Atheism.

Solias is ranked 85,449^th in the world and 104^th in Nederland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
