The United Empire of Solvada is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Ricarius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 18.748 billion Solvadans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roma. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Solvadan economy, worth a remarkable 5,675 trillion Denarii a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 302,724 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Concerned environmentalists wipe away their tears with tissues sourced from Tasmanian old-growth redwoods, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, national stress about the waning heir-line is causing a rise in alopecia, and the nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Solvada's national animal is the Aquila, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ricarianism.

Solvada is ranked 36,632nd in the world and 4th in Ammitica for Most Stationary, with 1,241.84255244248 days.
