The Solar Power of Sol Ring is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by MrSolRing with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 35.4 billion Sol Ringians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of SolRingCity. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sol Ringian economy, worth a remarkable 4,403 trillion manas 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 black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Retail, 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 impressive 124,395 manas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

A referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, the legislature keeps promising "more study" of corruption allegations against the parliamentary whip system, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sol Ring's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Sol Ring is ranked 203,481st in the world and 172nd in Nederland for Most Patriotic, with 6.44 flags saluted per person per day.
