The Wamalwa Empire of Pleadland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Austin with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, devout population of 3.319 billion Pleadlandians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Plead City. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pleadish economy, worth 285 trillion Plugavoes a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 86,046 Plugavoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and tourists are forbidden to enter Native Pleadish lands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pleadland's national animal is the Plugar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Legendarism.

Pleadland is ranked 185,596^th in the world and 7^th in Pleadrotta for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 509.62 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
