The SUSR of Kvetina is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Radio Minister Alastor with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 12.594 billion Solarics 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kvetina City. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kvetinan economy, worth a remarkable 3,106 trillion Solaric Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 246,685 Solaric Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Both criminals and civilians are DOA, the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, only lightning has a chance of striking Radio Minister Alastor twice, and evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kvetina's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Solarism.

Kvetina is ranked 9,783rd in the world and 427th in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,727.35 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
