The Republic of Plattneria is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Titus with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 2.816 billion Plattnerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Covey's Rapids. The average income tax rate is 43.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Plattnerian economy, worth 308 trillion Sols a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 109,702 Sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Plattnerians are fixin' ta comma any way they wanna, tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plattneria's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Plattneria is ranked 45,870^th in the world and 104^th in Christians for Most Developed, scoring 78.29 on the Human Development Index.
