The United People's Republic of Plagriu is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Chairman Dinski Dixon with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.73 billion Plagrians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dimber City. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Plagriuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,694 trillion Puris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 194,060 Puris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, billions of Puris are spent to take high-quality photos of the Dragnor Nebula, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, and a generation of children conceived in hell and born in strife is growing up inside government-run care villages. Crime is totally unknown. Plagriu's national animal is the Dragnor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Plagriu is ranked 7,550^th in the world and 20^th in Carcassonne for Most Developed, scoring 92.45 on the Human Development Index.
