The Rushdown of Order-Sol is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Order-Sol with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.65 billion Order-Solians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yorktown. The average income tax rate is 37.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Order-Solian economy, worth a remarkable 1,204 trillion golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,212 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

War criminals are given full state funerals, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept. Crime is totally unknown. Order-Sol's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Order-Sol is ranked 50,076^th in the world and 1^st in The Salt Mines for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,949.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
