The Kingdom of Solvernia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Ferdinand II with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, strictly enforced bedtime, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 2.555 billion Solvernians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rheifelden. The average income tax rate is 46.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Solvernian economy, worth 70.4 trillion Francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,538 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, King Ferdinand II has just been declared ruler of Solvernia in an international press conference, Catholicism has been named as Solvernia's national religion, and students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solvernia's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Solvernia is ranked 245,946^th in the world and 346^th in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.66 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
