The Holy Empire of Solivan Brugmansia is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 32 million Solivan Brugmansians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 26.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak Solivan Brugmansian economy, worth 988 billion Sundrops a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,897 Sundrops, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, organ donation is compulsory, discarded pennies litter the streets, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solivan Brugmansia's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Solivan Brugmansia is ranked 111,492^nd in the world and 3,177^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
