The Millitary Democratic State of Soliconian is a massive, safe nation, ruled by General Doofenschmitz with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, strictly enforced bedtime, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 1.712 billion Soliconias have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bordeaux. The average income tax rate is 32.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Soliconia economy, worth 228 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,406 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Third world countries are rich in "I Love Bordeaux" t-shirts, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, and the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soliconian's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Soliconian is ranked 17,728^th in the world and 544^th in the South Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 11.08 bananas ingested per day.
