The Free People's State of Solmetria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.448 billion Solmetrians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soliste. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solmetrian economy, worth 427 trillion sol coins 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 Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 96,166 sol coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is devoted to world peas, Solmetrian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', and they who do not work shall not eat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solmetria's national animal is the homo sapiens, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Solmetria is ranked 36,596^th in the world and 1,661^st in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 96,166.94 Standard Monetary Units.
