The Romantic Achaean Queendom of Plataia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Hypatia Salemnos with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.022 billion Plataieis are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Romachaea. The average income tax rate is 32.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Plataian economy, worth 66.1 trillion Drakhmas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,714 Drakhmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Auditors are gutting every governmental department, organ donation rates have hit a new low, grumpy old house owners demand that pedestrians get off their footpaths, and the government's economic policy is "sort it yourself". Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Plataia's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hellenism.

Plataia is ranked 285,411^th in the world and 5^th in The Hellenic Realm for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -12.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
