The Republic of PLJ is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Eternal Peace with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.807 billion PLJians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HTC. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient PLJian economy, worth 869 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,613 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of PLJ's radio stations, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PLJ's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

PLJ is ranked 1,419th in the world and 81st in Balder for Least Corrupt Governments, with 96.99 percentage of bribes refused.
