The Dominion of Solek is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Democratic Tyrant with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, avant-garde cinema, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.82 billion Solekians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Savareen. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soleki economy, worth 967 trillion Mombucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 109,645 Mombucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, and children's TV shows are having a gay old time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solek's national animal is the Red Panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gwent.

Solek is ranked 30,075th in the world and 705th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 80 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
