Nestled at the eastern end of the Prosipir Valley, Solodimir has never been a rich enough country to attract attention, and even Ornestra was content for a long time to leave them be and engage them in trade. Unfortunately as the primary source of timber for itself, Chresis, and Ornestra they over-harvested their forests until all that remained was in the High Synd-Galir and too costly to obtain. Their re-focusing on agriculture came too late, and lacking the mineral wealth of Chresis they grew poorer and poorer until it was almost a mercy when Ornestra finally invaded.
Under Ornestran control they finally managed a plan for restructuring their economy, and Solodimir is now more prosperous than they have been for many years. Even their southern border is more secure, as Chresis, not stupid enough to oppose the Ornestran Empire, soon ceded to Ornestra voluntarily, retaining most of their sovereignty.
