The Socialist Union of Soltierra is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Antonio Castille with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.485 billion Soltierrans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ontavo. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Soltierran economy, worth 35.3 trillion SSU Credits 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 Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 10,141 SSU Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Soltierra has designated Ontavo as its capital city, religion is strictly forbidden within school grounds, Antonio Castille has just been declared ruler of Soltierra in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soltierra's national animal is the bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.
Soltierra is ranked 47,449th in the world and 101st in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 68.96 Effective Tax Rate.
