The People's Republic of Plazland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Korney with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 10.64 billion Plajians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jingyuan. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Plajan economy, worth a remarkable 2,659 trillion Oriental Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 249,915 Oriental Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing Chairman Korney to progressive thinkers, the little guy plays a big role in Plajan politics, and a PhD just ain't what it used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plazland's national animal is the Oriental Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Oriental Orthodox.

Plazland is ranked 11,541^st in the world and 342^nd in The East Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 4,520.24 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
