The Republic of Solity Old is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, vat-grown people, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.265 billion Solity Oldians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Administration, and Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order are ignored. The average income tax rate is 10.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solity Oldian economy, worth 236 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 186,909 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

A rebrand a day keeps the debt collectors away, constituents prefer a carrot and boomstick approach to dealing with politicians, sex changes are routinely performed at Solity Old's hospitals, and most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments. Crime is totally unknown. Solity Old's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Solity Old is ranked 35,817^th in the world and 129^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,415.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
