The Protectorate of Solidair is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Order with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.154 billion Solidairians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mimbam City. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solidairian economy, worth 691 trillion Solidairian Dollars 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 significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 112,333 Solidairian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a bright dawn ahead for Solidair, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, and professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials. Crime is totally unknown. Solidair's national animal is the giraffe, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Solidair is ranked 6,394^th in the world and 331^st in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 13,131.11 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
