The United People's Republic of Plagriu is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Chairman Dinski Dixon with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.592 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 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Plagriuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,663 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 193,656 Puris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sporting events are the biggest source of funding for Plagriuan schools, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, generals have trouble barking orders over the sound of thundering artillery, and every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains. Crime is totally unknown. Plagriu's national animal is the Dragnor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Plagriu is ranked 217,390^th in the world and 782^nd in Carcassonne for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring zero on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
