The Republic of Plandmarcheam is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 297 million Plandmarcheamians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.0%.

The thriving Plandmarcheamian economy, worth 23.8 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 80,212 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams, and woodland critters flock to the safety of unfamiliar humans wearing lab-coats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plandmarcheam's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Plandmarcheam is ranked 93,095^th in the world and 439^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,478.84 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
