The Wolf republic of Plot is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.414 billion Plotians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 79.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Plotian economy, worth 661 trillion Kolis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 149,948 Kolis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain, and grazing lands are filled with cattle wearing odd-looking anti-pollution devices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plot's national animal is the Yui, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Plot is ranked 310,180th in the world and 405th in TNP Wolf Farmland for Nicest Citizens, with 0.69 average smiles per day.
