The Allied States of Solarhis is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Vasher Sunfyre with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 5.4 billion Solarhisians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vorin. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Solarhisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,291 trillion Solars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 239,088 Solars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums, pro-democracy regime change has been avoided, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, and heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solarhis's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Solar Draconic.

Solarhis is ranked 5,915^th in the world and 129^th in The East Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 80.1 flags saluted per person per day.
