The Arab republic of Solbral is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Mateus Solano Teixeira de Santos Gomes with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.571 billion Solbralians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of city of arabs. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solbralian economy, worth 607 trillion solbralian coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 132,947 solbralian coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, the study of quantum physics has been outlawed for fear of accidentally causing the end of the world, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, and an increasingly villainous series of sports coaches are demanding the national mascot's true identity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solbral's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is muslims.

Solbral is ranked 140,399^th in the world and 5,497^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 37,624.05 Standard Monetary Units.
