Soleanna

Soleanna, also known as the City of Water, is a Beautiful coastal city-state, kingdom and country within Sonic's world, and the main setting of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

The city is a constitutional monarchy, with an economy dominated by tourism and precision machinery. Politically, it does not appear to be part of the United Federation, or under the protection of the Guardian Units of Nations.

Reigning male monarchs apparently eschew the title "King", and Soleanna's sovereign is generally known as 'Duke' if male or either 'Queen' or 'Princess' if female. The small nation is apparently wealthy and prosperous; with its urban environments bearing resemblance to modern Mediterranean cities. However, Soleanna is shown to possess highly advanced technology 'behind the scenes', as is evident in the Aquatic Base level, a research lab underneath the ancient Royal Palace(located in Kingdom Valley).

The city worships a deity known as Solaris, "The Eternal Sun God", who is honoured during the Festival of the Sun. Soleanna's sovereign during the events of Sonic '06 is the young Princess Elise, introduced while presiding over this ceremony. In the game's timeline, the ancient castle that used to house the royal family in Kingdom Valley is revealed to have been abandoned after the Solaris Project accident. The new castle is on an island off of Castle Town near New City – although it is unclear if this remains true in the new timeline after the game.

Soleanna New City
Soleanna New City is an Adventure Field in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). One of three overworld area in the game, this area is an important hub for Action Stage access, Town Missions, and hidden medals.

The commercial and industrial center of Soleanna, the New City is decidedly more modern-looking than its counterpart Castle Town. Tall buildings and wide roads have taken over from rustic boutiques and cobbled footpaths; there's even a modern port area with warehouses and ship-loading cranes, and the headquarters of the Rimlight Corporation can be found here. There are a couple of GUN agents quietly operating here, as Shadow the Hedgehog can discover. The New City isn't all business, however, as it also hosts Soleanna's marina, where colourful yachts crowd the jetties.

Crisis City and Paradox
There are some hints that the Crisis City level of Sonic '06 is, in fact, Soleanna in Silver's future. The ruined buildings bear physical resemblance to those seen in downtown Soleanna during the main timeline. Further indications come in the form of Eggman's still-active base, and Elise's apparent hallucination of Soleanna in flames, with Iblis in the center, during the opening cutscene of Sonic's story.

Following the Solaris paradox at the end of the game, Soleanna's monarch is unknown; it may be the Duke or Elise.
