“Liberty at a Price”

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

The United Sun Republic of Solarampa is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Solar President Martin Tomek with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.694 billion Solarampas hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solar Terra. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solarampan economy, worth 795 trillion Drenits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 169,393 Drenits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", incidents involving lethal string attacks have gone way up, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Solarampa's national animal is the kitten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Solarampa is ranked 7,435^th in the world and 143^rd in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,451.83 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
