The Municipality of Plaridel is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 4.803 billion Plaridelians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Plaridelian economy, worth 83.5 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 17,388 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plaridel's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Plaridel is ranked 92,958^th in the world and 1^st in Bulacan for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 50.29 Effective Tax Rate.
