The Commonwealth of New Solainsula is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Kelebek with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 1.017 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 87.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Solainsulan economy, worth 119 trillion Jots a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,833 Jots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, New Solainsulan doors require a Ph.D. to open, Kelebek reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, and foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security. 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 275,627th in the world and 4,916th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.15 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
