The Republic of Plangainer is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Kevin Bradley with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.261 billion Plangainerians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orley. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Plangainerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,206 trillion Plangainerian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,555 Plangainerian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All you have to do is pray to get into Plangainer, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and when you fly on Air Plangainer you win a seat or you die. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plangainer's national animal is the Golden Jackal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Plangainer is ranked 31,181st in the world and 2,017th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
