The Dominion of Solek is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Democratic Tyrant with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.317 billion Solekians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Savareen. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soleki economy, worth a remarkable 1,176 trillion Mombucks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,009 Mombucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, crime pays, singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age, and commercials are consistently recorded in soft white rooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solek's national animal is the Red Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gwent.

Solek is ranked 165,139^th in the world and 2,505^th in The East Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 17.76 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
