The Capitalist's republic of Plinsey is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Brennan II with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.644 billion Plinseyians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vestisä. The average income tax rate is 24.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Plinseyian economy, worth 121 trillion Barques a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,765 Barques, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (Plinsey has found 1 easter egg), history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, and eminent domain has been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plinsey's national animal is the Bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is whatever the hell you want.

Plinsey is ranked 172,591^st in the world and 1^st in Greater Plinsey for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 170.81 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
