The Commonwealth of Seolia is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.896 billion Seolians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aether City. The average income tax rate is 61.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Seolian economy, worth a remarkable 1,955 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 283,556 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools, travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Seolia flights to avoid the pay lavatories, playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel, and children need to wear helmets and safety harnesses before mounting a carousel horse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seolia's national animal is the Northern goshawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Seolia is ranked 6,576th in the world and 28th in Conch Kingdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 109.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
