The Federation of Plazland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by High Commander Korney with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 14.633 billion Plajians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Janus. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Plajan economy, worth a remarkable 3,597 trillion Oriental Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 245,867 Oriental Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A PhD just ain't what it used to be, acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and the law says that all Plajians are created equal — no matter how they were created. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plazland's national animal is the Oriental Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Oriental Orthodox.

Plazland is ranked 188,543^rd in the world and 3,808^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 49.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
