The Hybrid Technocracy of Solaeter

“The missile knows where it is at all times”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Hybrid Technocracy of Solaeter is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Azrael with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, aversion to nipples, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.908 billion Solaeterans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Equinox Fort. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solaeterian economy, worth 312 trillion Specs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 163,934 Specs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army lives rent-free in foreigners' heads and houses, job descriptions are required to list the length of their siesta breaks, the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, and the nation is wading into dangerous waters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solaeter's national animal is the Velociraptor, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Church of Solaeter.

Solaeter is ranked 30,615^th in the world and 20^th in Lonia Kreptia Llor for Most Cultured, scoring 79 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
