The Stellar Autocracy of The Republic of Western Sol is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme leader Seth Bornto with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 5.524 billion solarians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osmarch. The average income tax rate is 51.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,604 trillion Catuns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 290,479 Catuns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia, a widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat", more and more people are signing up for the government party, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime is totally unknown. The Republic of Western Sol's national animal is the Solarian bombardier beetle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Solaris.

The Republic of Western Sol is ranked 95,690^th in the world and 13^th in 001 Alpha Prime for Largest Populations, with 5.52 billion capita.
