The Socialist Republic of Solveneia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by The Supreme People's Assembly with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 7.082 billion Solveneians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunshine and Rainbows. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The all-consuming Solveneian economy, worth 904 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,703 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, television executives are interested in turning The Supreme People's Assembly's zany home life into a sitcom, the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, and exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solveneia's national animal is the kitten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Solveneia is ranked 10,772^nd in the world and 170^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 379 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
