The Community of Plain Talk is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Buck Ruckus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 11.225 billion Plain Talkians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pecha Kucha. The average income tax rate is 32.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Plain Talkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,072 trillion Coppers a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 95,559 Coppers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, doctors prescribe medicines produced by the last pharmaceutical company to give them a free pen, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, and Buck Ruckus can cry on demand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Plain Talk's national animal is the Manatee, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Plain Talk is ranked 19,751st in the world and 1,109th in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,817.2 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
