The Democratic Republic of Solidaritea is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 289 million Solidariteans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Concordia. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Solidaritean economy, worth 5.08 trillion Solidars 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 major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 17,587 Solidars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and Solidaritea has designated Concordia as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solidaritea's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Solidaritea is ranked 287,026^th in the world and 3,683^rd in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -16.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
