The Algocracy of Solid State is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by BoojiOmni Command System with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 941 million Buddies are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boojitropoplex. The average income tax rate is 35.4%.

The Solid Statean economy, worth 52.1 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 55,363 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins, the government is cracking down on subversive groups, and glossy adverts featuring baby's first puff adorn mothers' magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solid State's national animal is the Overseer Scanner Drone.

Solid State is ranked 153,154th in the world and 8,469th in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 926.77 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
