The Federation of The Solid Members is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Sir Sacul with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory vegetarianism, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.817 billion Solid Membersians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Matthew. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Solid Membersian economy, worth a remarkable 1,387 trillion Sollidars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 203,498 Sollidars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 655,572 per year while the poor average 47,809, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

The nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", political activists are routinely executed, every conceivable scenic location has been completely booked by couples desperate to marry, and scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Solid Members's national animal is the Golden Retriever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Solid Members is ranked 266,032^nd in the world and 758^th in NationStates for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 2.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
