The Empire of Solar Power is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning squirrel population. The hard-working population of 8.209 billion Solar Powerians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 11.7%.

The Solar Powerian economy, worth 428 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 52,168 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Solar Power's national animal is the squirrel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Solar Power is ranked 226,437^th in the world and 9,628^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
