The Sol Dominion of The Ebony Republic is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Solar Sovereign with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, anti-smoking policies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20.768 billion Sollites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delania. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Dominion economy, worth a remarkable 9,112 trillion Dominion Coins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 438,794 Dominion Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Decreased demand for toilets is saving the prison service a lot of money, community theaters are known for their bawdy renditions of 'Springtime for Solar Sovereign', criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, and citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ebony Republic's national animal is the Dominion leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ecclesiarchy of the Sol.

The Ebony Republic is ranked 144,500^th in the world and 16^th in The Universal Order of Nations for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 926.65 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
