The Holy Empire of Solimarcia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Queen Lillith with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.867 billion Solimarcians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solmaris Point. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Solimarcian economy, worth 131 trillion SolDollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,026 SolDollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Customs turn away those considered to have an unfavourable ethnicity, traffic tickets are punishable by 9000 push-ups, vanity is considered the fifth cardinal virtue, and grinning punters say that casino roulette is the greatest high that life has to offer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solimarcia's national animal is the sand hare, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Solimarcia is ranked 293,550th in the world and 11,128th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
