The Republic of Soleilland is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.215 billion Soleillandians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Education and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lumisen. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Soleillandian economy, worth 417 trillion lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,335 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soleilland's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soleilland is ranked 14,520^th in the world and 286^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,260.17 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
