The Empire of Soloras is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 198 million Solorasians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Solorasian economy, worth 3.10 trillion Lumens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. Average income is 15,675 Lumens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school bands practice by moonlight, Solorasians submit requests for a date in writing with an enclosed RSVP card, where there's a will there is usually a password manager, and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soloras's national animal is the Firefly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soloras is ranked 228,543^rd in the world and 76^th in Ridgefield for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
