The Dictatorship of Plaige is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 106 million Plaigeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Plaigean economy, worth 3.90 trillion supremes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 36,804 supremes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, children are afraid to go out at night due to the ubiquity of hardened jaywalkers, scientists are working on a way to automate the role of Leader, and all the cool kids have tetanus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plaige's national animal is the supreme leader, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Plaige is ranked 206,065^th in the world and 61^st in Tarkin for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 220.81 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
