The Empire of The Solus is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 29 million Solusians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58.9%.

The developing Solusian economy, worth 804 billion Solusian Coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,734 Solusian Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

An underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety, the "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games, young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, and you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Solus's national animal is the Solusian Silver Bobcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Solus is ranked 151,460^th in the world and 1,044^th in 10000 Islands for Most Income Equality, scoring 27.16 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
