The Not incompetent like Alex of East Planes is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Malina de Salvo with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 10.759 billion Samareños love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Biringan. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Samareño economy, worth a remarkable 1,948 trillion Pesos 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 181,145 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', rocket boots and thermal detonators have become standard-issue military gear, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, and in the Beginning was the Word and the Word was "Pragmatism". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Planes's national animal is the Trilobite, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

East Planes is ranked 4,845^th in the world and 87^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,440.24 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
