The Most Serene Republic of Rayo de Sol is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bernard SUNders with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 34.538 billion Rayo de Solians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Environment, although Education and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sol City. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rayo de Solian economy, worth a remarkable 6,519 trillion lightbulbs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 188,758 lightbulbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency, the nation's space program is doxxing the planet, activists sabotage clean energy in the name of the environment, and the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work". Crime is totally unknown. Rayo de Sol's national animal is the sun wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rayo de Sol is ranked 3,722^nd in the world and 3^rd in Lone Wolves United for Largest Populations, with 34.5 billion capita.
