The Hybrid Technocracy of Solaeter is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Azrael with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.056 billion Solaeterans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Equinox Fort. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solaeterian economy, worth 359 trillion Specs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 174,719 Specs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, heavily-armed commandos play rock-paper-scissors over whether to execute criminals and foreign visitors, popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, and friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solaeter's national animal is the Velociraptor, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Church of Solaeter.

Solaeter is ranked 302,632^nd in the world and 298^th in Lonia Kreptia Llor for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 23.04 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
