The State of Plymouth Company is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.689 billion Plymouth Companyians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Education are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The thriving Plymouth Companyian economy, worth 316 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 32,627 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary and the right to free speech is being drastically curtailed. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Plymouth Company's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Plymouth Company is ranked 266,204^th in the world and 7^th in Houston for Lowest Crime Rates, with 40.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
