The Peoples Republic of Plazland is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Commander Korney with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 19.745 billion Plajians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Janus. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Plajan economy, worth a remarkable 4,908 trillion Oriental Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 248,618 Oriental Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists on maritime expeditions return with a healthy glow, High Commander Korney's reputation is hard as nails, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, and reassembling shredded papers is the highlight of a spy's day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plazland's national animal is the Oriental Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Oriental Orthodox.

Plazland is ranked 310,651^st in the world and 3,886^th in The East Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.67 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
