The Clearly Not Rosa of Solis Astoria is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.523 billion Solis Astorians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 52.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Solis Astorian economy, worth 106 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 70,008 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and enemy combatants are presumed guilty until proven innocent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solis Astoria's national animal is the Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Solis Astoria is ranked 74,748th in the world and 159th in Astoria for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
