The Republic of Solmetria is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Alan with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.501 billion Solmetrians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded 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 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solmetrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,064 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 highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 111,988 sol coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, the best defense is a good fence, Alan is called 'Patches' at international summits, and children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name. Crime 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 308,054^th in the world and 9,320^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -8.94 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
