Well, you've got 1. And -1. And sqrt(-1). And the unit pseudoscalars of the Clifford algebras for every number of dimensions.

So there are a countably infinite number of solutions. Can anyone find a bigger set? Something with an uncountably infinite set of solutions?

There's only 2. sqrt(-1) isn't a solution. There are at most 2 over any integral domain.
