The Dominion of Plaka Rai is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.311 billion Plaka Raians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 54.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Plaka Raian economy, worth 446 trillion poker chips a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,095 poker chips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists, the economy is green and the air is black, the government is spending millions on lawyers' fees trying to get Leader off a murder charge, and money grows on trees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plaka Rai's national animal is the Yellow Eyelash Pit Viper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Plaka Rai is ranked 187,247^th in the world and 149^th in Forest for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 215.34 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
