The Democratic Republic of Solareclipse is a large, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The compassionate, democratic population of 129 million Solareclipseans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 13.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Solareclipsean economy, worth 5.34 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,392 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown. Solareclipse's national animal is the unicorn, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Solareclipse is ranked 65,674^th in the world and 52^nd in Benigtopia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,767.9 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
