The People's Republic of The Plebeian States is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rousseau with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 953 million Plebs are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virtute Capitis. The average income tax rate is 88.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Plebeian economy, worth 100 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 105,134 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, and Rousseau's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime is totally unknown. The Plebeian States's national animal is the Ox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Plebeian States is ranked 54,046^th in the world and 2,192^nd in the South Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 73.14 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
