The Democratic Provinces of Vox Solanaceae is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Councillor Murphy with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 10.45 billion Solanaceaeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District of Squarefield. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solanaceaean economy, worth a remarkable 1,402 trillion radices a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,175 radices, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-radix charge on their phone bill, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", and cities are engulfed by smog. Crime is totally unknown. Vox Solanaceae's national animal is the ox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Order of New Roots.

Vox Solanaceae is ranked 41,036^th in the world and 2^nd in Atlantic for Safest, scoring 105.49 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
