The People's Republic of Solestepas is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 406 million Solese are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rosamonte. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Solestepasian economy, worth 20.6 trillion Raios a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 50,649 Raios, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, and the Solestepasian government is the world's largest NGO. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solestepas's national animal is the Sand Pinscher, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Solestepas is ranked 83,941^st in the world and 683^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Most Secular, with 17.47 Atheism Rate.
