The Empire of Solstheims is a large, cultured nation, remarkable for its national health service, frequent executions, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-working, democratic population of 183 million Solstheimites enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.6%.

The very strong Solstheimsian economy, worth 16.3 trillion Septims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 89,318 Septims, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, and the justice of Solstheims is considered superior to that of other nations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solstheims's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Solstheims is ranked 111,631^st in the world and 15^th in Cumberperry for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 772.87 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
