The Federal Republic of Sollolanes is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Council of Solaris with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.747 billion Sollolanesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solara City. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sollolanesian economy, worth 268 trillion sollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 153,813 sollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sollolanes's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Folk Religion.

Sollolanes is ranked 15,187th in the world and 27th in Concord for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,600.44 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
