The Republic of Solveig is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Saskia Adalni with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.528 billion Solvis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Konugard. The average income tax rate is 18.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Solveigian economy, worth 284 trillion Sol crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 62,756 Sol crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring, and an increasing number of citizens believe the world is flat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solveig's national animal is the Hedgehog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Enigheit.

Solveig is ranked 48,397^th in the world and 157^th in Europeia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 51.33 kickbacks per hour.
