The Manifest Destiny of Plainview is a mammoth, cultured nation, renowned for its teetotalling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.095 billion Viewers are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mika Town. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Plainviewian economy, worth 626 trillion Chits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 102,849 Chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A small country is wondering where their capitol building's gold dome went, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, government forces are said to be deterred by signs reading "No Spam, Cold Callers or Central Government - Thank You", and class boundaries start and end with the firmness of local tomatoes. Crime is almost non-existent. Plainview's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Plainview is ranked 106,868^th in the world and 7^th in Guinea Kiribati for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,118.6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
