The United Federation of Plisskenstan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Albert Gallatin with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 41.1 billion Plisskenstanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Education, with Social Policy and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thingamageek. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Plisskenstanian economy, worth a remarkable 8,117 trillion Sponks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 197,499 Sponks, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, police officers outnumber pigeons in Thingamageek, foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets, and people are offered free trials to go to trial. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Plisskenstan's national animal is the Chupacabra, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Plisskenstan is ranked 123,765^th in the world and 52^nd in Capitalist Paradise for Largest Black Market, with 1.68 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
