The Commonwealth of The Sovereign Republic of Sol is a huge, genial nation, ruled by A D M I N with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ban on automobiles, and national health service. The compassionate population of 957 million Solarians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Solari economy, worth 81.1 trillion Sterlings a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,736 Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sociologists can charge whatever fee they like as the nation tries to find itself, centuries-old legal documents detailing agnatic-cognatic gavelkind succession are being dusted off again, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sovereign Republic of Sol's national animal is the Blue Serinus Canaria, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Sovereign Republic of Sol is ranked 44,469^th in the world and 16^th in Quarantine Zone for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,798.42 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
