The Commonwealth of New Solainsula is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Kelebek with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.083 billion New Solainsulans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Conclave. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Solainsulan economy, worth 130 trillion Jots a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 120,648 Jots, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Conclave to enjoy their national art, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Solainsula's national animal is the Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Solainsula is ranked 35,516th in the world and 690th in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 819.58 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
