The Dominion of Solek is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by The Democratic Tyrant with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9.052 billion Solekians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Savareen. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soleki economy, worth a remarkable 1,006 trillion Mombucks 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 111,241 Mombucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Solek" at foreigners, children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solek's national animal is the Red Panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gwent.

Solek is ranked 14,382^nd in the world and 370^th in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,268.15 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
