The Republic of Plangainer is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Kevin Bradley with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.497 billion Plangainerians 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 Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orley. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Plangainerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,863 trillion Plangainerian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 120,248 Plangainerian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals, Plangainerian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks, and decongestants have replaced Plangainerian Dollars in street transactions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plangainer's national animal is the Golden Jackal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Plangainer is ranked 6,838^th in the world and 5^th in Scandinavian Liberal Paradise for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 7,043.83 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
