The Republic of Plainconia is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 16 million Plainconians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 24.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Plainconian economy, worth 711 billion Conias a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,492 Conias , and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, museum visitors often bring lemons and black lights, childish pranks are no laughing matter, and children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plainconia's national animal is the Conia, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Plainconia is ranked 316,282^nd in the world and 1,308^th in Europeia for Largest Populations, with 16.0 million capita.
