The Commonwealth of Solamodia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by All Commonwealth Congress of Soviet with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.028 billion Solamodians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pearltopia. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solamodian economy, worth 124 trillion Solacs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 121,593 Solacs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solamodia's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Solamodia is ranked 28,243rd in the world and 33rd in Sparkalia for Safest, scoring 109.82 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
