The Federation of Solanara is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Dodecan Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 869 million Solanarans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vashtan. The average income tax rate is 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Solanaran economy, worth 65.2 trillion firasems a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 74,982 firasems, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Solanaran watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, the Federal Council of Solanara has been announced as the new Head of State, when electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming, and Solanara's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solanara's national animal is the kiranthosa parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Solanara is ranked 174,246^th in the world and 2,771^st in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,302.09 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
