The Matriarchy of Sole Si is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 159 million Sole Sians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 50.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Sole Sian economy, worth 6.43 trillion Solis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,467 Solis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Both illness and poverty are seen as signs of low moral worth, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, and most ambassadors from Sole Si retire only a few years after being appointed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sole Si's national animal is the Ocras, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sole Si is ranked 293,307^th in the world and 69^th in Benigtopia for Largest Populations, with 159 million capita.
