The Winter Empire of Solaryia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Consul Conti Bellarys with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.254 billion Solaryí are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eridanis. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Solaryí economy, worth a remarkable 1,504 trillion Solaryí Florís a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,222 Solaryí Florís, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, and the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solaryia's national animal is the Pyrrhian Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Surovian Catholic Church.

Solaryia is ranked 259,034^th in the world and 189^th in The Western Isles for Most Secular, with 9.59 Atheism Rate.
