The Dominion of Plaid Town is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Silk Dealer with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.408 billion Denimites 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Impenetrable Citidel of Velourna. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Denimite economy, worth a remarkable 1,555 trillion Flannels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 242,756 Flannels, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Gossip magazines have pictures of The Silk Dealer sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau', stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, and populations of two-headed Bolts have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plaid Town's national animal is the Bolt, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Machine Washable.

Plaid Town is ranked 852^nd in the world and 575^th in The North Pacific for Most World Assembly Endorsements, with 160 Valid Endorsements.
