The Commonwealth of Plandistria is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alexander Belkin with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.081 billion Plandistrians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brussels. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Plandistrian economy, worth 112 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,733 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plandistria's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Plandistria is ranked 193,184^th in the world and 75^th in Aeternas for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 41.07 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
