The United States of Solumnia is a huge, genial nation, ruled by President Gabriel Morgan with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 804 million Solumnians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Sol City. The average income tax rate is 60.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Solumnian economy, worth 81.5 trillion sols a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,316 sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Tax returns detail how many games of slots each citizen will be able to play with their refund, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, and arbitration is mightier than the sword. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Solumnia's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Solumnia is ranked 28,788th in the world and 1st in The Solumnias for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 225.73 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
