The Republic of Plugempra is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 5.873 billion Plugemprans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.1%.

The Plugempran economy, worth 282 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,014 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, it's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, and homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plugempra's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Plugempra is ranked 99,766^th in the world and 6^th in Lassa for Highest Drug Use, scoring 174.83 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
